[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm really sorry this is tough for you.  I have a kid who puts so much effort into basketball, works  really hard, and has big dreams; he loves it with every fiber of his being.  I'd be thrilled if he ever got an opportunity like this, absolutely thrilled. The truth is, the likelihood of this happening are extremely low so it's unlikely this will ever happen for my kid.

Plenty of athletes and actors have gone back to school to finish their degrees, that opportunity will always be there for him. But this opportunity most likely will not present itself again.

To maintain such a high GPA and maintain his scholarship AND have recruiters looking at him.  Wow, I'd be beaming with pride.  You should be very proud, sounds like he has an incredible work ethic and ambition.  I know a college degree would be a first for your family, but not many people can say they have a child who played in the NBA. Even if he never plays, to even be considered good enough for it is rare!

Best of luck, OP![/quote]
