Not sure if I should take you seriously, but honestly, a tutor is probably your best bet for securing your son's basketball future. The concept of academic ineligibility does not go away, and being that basketball is a team sport, he needs to be playing on a team. A coach can help develop individual skills, but he needs to play with others. I can't imagine him being scouted without having played even on a high school team.

I hope he makes it. However, Hoop Dreams is a good movie (documentary) to watch about the importance of a back-up plan. Good luck.

If he's that good he's probably already being scouted through AAU or whatever league he's playing in so surely his coaches can recommend a trainer. You may also want to take a look at the basketball academies.

No hes not Lebron and he might be better. I dont need no people telling me how I raside my child. if he wants to be in the nba then no one is gonna stop him.

It seems to me that you should be worrying about your son's grades instead of his basketball playing. This would be an appropriate forum to look for a tutor if he needs one.

Agree. Unless he is LeBron James level to be recruited out of high school he's going to need to play in college which means he's got to be academically eligible.

Would you feel differently if he had beaten and stomped a black man? Seems like a weird thing to include.

OP, my kid plays a different sport so I'm afraid I can't help you.

Curtis Malone at DC Assault should be able to help you.
