    Howard to college? Telfair turning pro?

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Howard has been projected as a potential No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft since his performance at the ABCD Camp at Fairleigh Dickinson in July. Most major colleges haven't even bothered recruiting him because it was considered a foregone conclusion that he would skip college for the pros.

    But his father, Dwight Sr., told ESPN2 during a national telecast of Southwest Atlanta Christian's first loss of the season Friday, that his son is "still thinking college."

    Telfair's future may be up in the air as well. New York City's all-time leading scorer committed to Rick Pitino and Louisville, where he could play an up-tempo game for a coach who could prepare him for an NBA career.

    But a group of NBA general managers, attending a similar showcase event recently at UCLA's Pauley Pavilion to scout Howard, walked away raving about Telfair.

    "They came to see Dwight Howard and Robert Swift (7-1 from Bakersfield, Calif.)," Konchalski said. "They weren't thinking about getting impressed by a 6-foot guard, but I hear that they were."</div>

    LeBron was also thinking about college.

    Howard should go to college, but I think he will go pro.

    Theres no way hes is gonna go to college Everybody is saying hes gonna be number one on the draft, And everybody is expecting him to turn pro . And I think hes ready phisycally and mentally for the league. players that were not even on the map turned pro last year Like Ebi,Outlaw, and They got drafted onthe first round. C'mon it's obvious hes going to the NBA.
