Hoyas never do well with kids who are looking at schools that pay for play. No biggie.

I seriously doubt this is a pay for play scenario!!! His father went to LSU as a reminder.

I am not sure why anyone would mention pay to play in regards to a player who's father is a multi-millionaire. If anything, maybe it means that the first few college choices were from the player's heart and now he is using his head and listening to his father who knows more about college and pro basketball than 99% of people who post on any basketball site, magazine or blog. If Dikembe's kid starts somewhere else for college, I don't think any sane pundit would question if he transfers and looks at Georgetown. Sometimes a 17 or 18 year old makes a choice and later realizes it was a mistake. Often if they grow up from the experience, they will listen more carefully to their parent's advice.

Point out where I said he was being paid. Nice try. Don't insult everyone's intelligence with this attempt to walk back what you posted. We all have had a bad post or ten so it is what it is. No big deal.

Slow down shooter. If I wanted to say he was getting paid I would have said that. Gotcha.😉 Besides, I’ve already made my thoughts known on this young man. He’s not what the program needs.

If the kid isn't on the take then what difference does it make if the school is willing to pay? Because I guarantee that Shareef has a card with a big enough limit to show himself a great time around campus....

Schools like LSu, Zona, UCLA have a different school and academic standard for their athletes. Those schools offer the type of benefit Georgetown can’t; not just monetarily but lax rules and pretend schooling. It’s a different environment and one you won’t get at Georgetown.

Kids don’t want to hear about a deflated basketball anymore. It’s all about coeds and jacuzzis! 😎 No need to waste time in real classes.

I ask this ingenuously. It has been some time since I graduated. The above comports with both my experience and what I have always believed; that the academic expectations for scholarship athletes (read basketball) do not differ greatly from those for the student body at large. Yet things I have read recently on these boards lead me to wonder if I'm being a little naive. What is the reality today?
