I agree JR. Not only in basketball but in their lives in general. If they get oppurtunities that some of us doesn't such as getting out of the mountains or even getting a full paid scholarship to a university and don't take advantage of it then it was a waste to begin with. They need to open their eyes and accept that they will run into bigger and better, that is how life in general is. They need to be thankful for what they were blessed with and take full advantage of it. Work hard to show the coaches what you are made out, bring some pride back to the mountains. Use it as an oppurtunity to further your education as well, don't go JUST to play basketball. You are going to college for FREE so decide on a major and work just as hard if not HARDER to make something of your life.

They just don't see it. Any of it. They go and don't get what they want, they party for the rest of the semester, grades drop, they lose scholarships, they make their parents unhappy, therefore they are jerked back into the area in which they worked hard to leave and what has been fullfilled in doing so? Shame if anything, no justice to their talent nor academic abilities.
