Rocky....it's the same thing with drafting kids out of HS to the NBA...it's all based on POTENTIAL and really has nothing to do with actual ability anymore.
Sadly it's all become a business...right down to the 8th grade AAU level. I will never fault a kid for taking the opportunity to secure something for himself, be it a full ride scholarship or the multi-million dollar payday of professional sports. Look at Greg Oden...Do you think he didn't know about his knee problem when at OSU...if that were to come out before last year's draft, do you think he would have been picked where he was....Maybe with him, but a lot of other guys who had knee issues never made the guaranteed money of the first round.
Again...sign the LOI and scholly offer as fast as you can kid!
