he was actually a big time recruit. just not as good when he was a freshman and sophomore. :thumb: by this theory, why not take a chance on any recruit then?
If you recruit the kid for what you think his dad will bring to the table, you really aren't being fair to the kid. He already is walking around in some pretty big shoes, he needs a chance to be his own man. Also If he isn't good enough to be here on his own merit, the PR backlash could very well be negative when he transfers because of playing time issues.
Don't think MJ even made the team his freshman year in High School. Shows how determined he was and his work ethic to go on and become so great with such a slow start........and we (Parents) all think today, if they don't begin playing in "Little dribblers" at 5 they'll never catch up.
Didn't even make it his sophomore year. However, I believe he was an all-american by his senior year.
That and the fact that all eyes would be on him. Announcers would be spotlighting him and dad. What about the other 4 players?? I wanna be seen too!
LSU might be looking for a new point guard again.....A certain person was caught changing his grades and may have is scholarship pulled from a certain school
Are you sure? HIGH SCHOOL’S VERSION OF THE “DREAM TEAM”: McDonald’s All American® Alumni include former and current NBA stars such as Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Kevin Garnett, LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony, and current college stand-outs such as Greg Oden (Ohio State), Kevin Durant (Texas), The Big News was that not only was Michael Jordan's McDonald's All-American jersey No. 23 retired at halftime, but so was his scoring record, one which stood for 18 years. In the 1981 game, Jordan scored 30 points, including shooting 13 field goals, the most ever in the game. But tonight, about 20 minutes after retiring the jersey was retired at the half, the record was broken by Jonathan Bender (6'-11" Sr. C) from Picayune Memorial, in Mississippi, who has commited to Mississippi State who scored 31 points, breaking the record with about 23 seconds left to play in the game.
