[quote=Anonymous]I was top 5 in the state of NC since freshman year of HS in my sport. Went on to earn a full-ride athletic scholarship. Olympic hopeful.

Got to college and quickly realized I was probably slightly above average in my sport. Burnt out and wanted to hang it up by Jr. year--but now the school owned me (via scholarship).

Do this:

1) Google the recent stand-out basketball talents that recently graduated from the HS your son will graduate from;
2) Check out their stats and the cool articles written about them while they were in the HS;
3) Now, try to see where they went to college (and specifically which colleges they attended);
4) Did they receive basketball scholarships?;
5) How are they doing on the team?..I have a hunch.

Then, ask yourself: Are all of the investments you've just noted worth it? Or, is your son better off in a league with kids who just want to enjoy the game and get some playing time? Or, maybe consider introducing him to other sports or programs that will help better round him as an individual.
