Teaneck, N.J. - Lenny Cooke guessed at the number of people
- reporters, Web site operators, fans - who asked the
19-year-old Brooklyn native whether he is going to turn pro
after his upcoming senior year of high school. "A hundred,
at least," he said. "Probably more."
Rest of the story is here, worth lookng at...

Good read, Sparky.
I'm guessing that it is better for universities to have their top recruits turn pro right away, as opposed to taking a full ride and then leaving after a year, thereby, eliminating a scholarship for the university.
We go to college to make ourselves employable but some of those lads already have the skills, yo?
Is there a better life than life in college? Not in most cases, but clearly in some lives college just doesn't work.
