Really good individual players are even better team players IMO. In high school basketball the only thing that matters is making it to Rupp!

I wish one of the mod's would please close this thread!

Yes, really good players make their teammates better or atleast make them look better because all the focus is on them. Rupp is important. But, IMO getting your college paid for by getting a scholarship is very good as well...Everyone always says Academics should come before Athletics. Yes, making it to Rupp(if they even played at Rupp), im sure is a wonderful experience and a life time memory. But, an athlete doing well on his own and getting his schooling paid for is great. Just take this into consideration, 4 or 5 yrs. down the road when an athlete is graduating from the college he got the scholarship from will tell you Rupp was great, but making something of yourself and having a future to build on and making a life for yourself is pretty great and important as well...For 99.9% of whoever has played, Rupp would be a memory, but having a college education will last them a lifetime. IMO just going to Rupp doesn't put food on the table for someone who's family dont have the money for a good college or any college 4 that matter.
