Whats up America,

Since change is the theme of our 44th President Barack Obama I think it's only fitting change be the focus of my new blog subject. Change will be coming soon for senior high school ball players who plan to play on the collegiate level. No more big man on campus when most of these players land on the campus of the school they choose. Reality will hit like an Ali jab.

What advice would you give to future student athletes as they make the transition from high school to college life.


Midterm package update

2/22/09,

Since changing the topic of my story I have reached out to potential contacts and I plan to interview two high school ball players, one current or former college ball player and a high school and college coach. My focus is to find out what are high school hoopsters feelings about making the jump to the collegiate level. While incorporating insight from the experts such as coaches and players who have experienced playing on both levels. The package is due on March 2nd which means I have a week to interview my contacts and edit my package for viewing. Sounds like a tough challenge but I embrace the pressure like shooting two free throws with no time left on the clock and my team is down by 1. Check back with me next week to find out if I deliver.
