Well you have to think over this carefully and take a decision based on what you like more-your parents or your team.\n\nI personally think in a new school you will make it too the team too and make new friends, but then I am a parent too.\n\nRemember, you have to live with your family all along, and traveling may not seem a good idea once you've to do it everyday.\n\nThink over carefully and I sure that you'll come up with a right decision, either way.

I don't know that the high schools do it to have better teams (in Texas or anywhere else).  But it definitely happens on an individual basis that the parent(s) hold back their kids (even though NOT academically necessary) so they will have a competitive advantage when it comes to sports.

no because u might make it next time my niece has alot of guy friends who play jv and are juniors. just because you play jv doesnt make u a bad player besides alot of the varsity team cant play very good.

Adams Middle School too far for me, Good program some day many NFL players will come from there. \n\nWe have Nelson Adams Middle School Football here but they don't match up to Adams Middle School in Missouri.

Yes, he would be crazy not to. I know the importance of a college education but you are only young and healthy for so long. If he would stay for another year he may get hurt and never see the NFL. After all if he goes he will get huge bonuses and hopefully invest them and make the college education unimportant at least from a financial standpoint.

Because its a basketball school. and they have never accomplished anything with there football program. If you were a top high school prospect would you want to play for Duke? not likely, you would want to go to a school with more prestige USC, Notre Dame, Ohio State etc. . Now if you played basketball then hell yeah you would want to go to Duke. but don't go there for lacrosse i heard that team gets in too much trouble.

High school basketball players, football players, etc. all have to sign letters of intent to the schools they plan to attend. These letters state that a certain player will attend a certain school and play a certain sport for the school.

No, because they can see how their parents live. They know not everybody lives that way. The thing is that they need to realize is very few people make it to play pro sports. The ones that do have real talent, work real hard and there is alot of luck involved. Its not something that is just bestowed on them. They cannot just expect to be a pro player because they are great in their league. They need to know that even if they are great they could be one ALC injury away from needing that college education. These are the things that kids don't understand.

Davis isn't tough to get into. If you've got mid 12's and a 3.6 its easy enough. \n\nDavis isn't a bad school though.

If you're a good all-around student, yes, it helps, because competing consistently in sports of any kind, and doing well shows that you not only have other interests but also the discipline to pursue them. But it helps only if you are a good student as well.

It doesn't matter which school you join over there. Get into a good coaching academy, the study goes on over there only (or so i've heard)

No, but your best chance would be through college, either as a scholarship player or walk-on.\n\nThis late in the game, you will need a lot of natural athletic ability.\n\nWhat's the worst thing that could happen?  You work hard, have fun, and stay in great shape.\n\nNothing wrong with a dream, just have a backup plan, like getting a good education.

Basketball players are [at times] considered to be the best athletes because of the required stamina, flexibility and strength required to be good.  So, yes it's good, everywhere but the knees and sometimes ankles.  I played for about 20 years (high school and college, plus post college (not pro)) and some mornings I can barely get out of bed.

Not if you keep working hard.  I was on the Freshman B team in High School, but then I ended up playing on the Varsity team at the end of my sophomore year.

Knucklehead-armchair sports fans can say he is misunderstood all they like. The fact is though, when he does recruiting now he is handicapped by his own reputation. The kids have a choice of what school they go to, most of them probably don't want to play for a guy who (fairly or unfairly) has a reputation as a maniac. That being said, I think he is a decent man who has some issues with his temper (typical for someone of his generation) and the media does single him out. The fact he makes sure his players hit the books speaks for itself.

They where not overrated you don't when over 30 games in a roll and not be good. There are alot of good players coming out into this draft that's why to much talent but enough for ever one to get good players from college. But just because you great in college only gives you a 50% chance to make it Through spring training.

Yes. Those who think not are in denial. Look it up. He went to Andover. That's an elite eastern prep school for you country people and good ole boys.
