Check out some highlights from junior. Looking for a big July and then narrow schools down to a top 10. He just took visits to George Mason, Miami, Bucknell and American.

Lots of trips to Miami, smart kid whether he goes there are not lol.

What were his season stats?

20.2 PPG
6.8 Rebounds per gm
2.4 steals per gm
2.6 assist per gm

He has a 3.85 GPA and a 24 on ACT 1st time he took it. He's qualified for every school we've looking at except the Ivy league schools. For Yale, Harvard, Columbia, and Cornell he need a 26. He's taking it again in the fall.

Canes need him and let alone the awesome education he will get there

And I can see almost every game........only couple of hours away.

Picked up offer from Boston University last night.
How's the area?..................never been

congrats.

does he have any shot at getting an offer from an Ivy league school (assuming he gets his #'s up)?

Boston is a great city for college, cold as hell but a fun city for a kid to experience and not too big that he'd be overwhelmed. there are a million schools in Boston so he'll have plenty of youngsters to run around with but not as much of a 'college feel' as going to a campus school but still a great place to meet people and set himself up for his future.

He will get offers from Ivy league schools that he's talking to once he get the 26 on the ACT, which won't be a problem. He got a 24 1st time without any studying or anything. He'll also graduate with about a 4.5 because he's taking 5 AP classes next year.

Unless I'm being courted by the elite level schools, now that I think about it, I think I'd want to go to either an Ivy league school or Miami

Or to be honest, 35 year old me sees all the benefits of the Ivy league school, but 18 year old me would certanly not see it the same compared to Miami.

my personal thoughts and I'm just offering my advice thru what I've seen in my professional career.

unless he's going to the league, which is a huge long shot (with all due respect regardless of how good he is), I wouldn't be able to sign with an Ivy league soon enough.

imo, you have to maximize the opportunity. any joe, dick or harry has the opportunity to get to Miami or UConn or wherever. it takes either an insanely good resume, a legacy family or an incredible talent (which he will fit into) to open the doors of an Ivy league school. Ivy leagues change lives and the paths of lives for generations to come if utilized properly and proper connections are made.

overall, school is for fools... there is really no point in it other than to accrue massive amounts of debt unless you work in a field that requires a special degree (ie Medicine). other than that, the best thing you can get out of school is future opportunity thru connections you make and the only places that truly guarantee that are Ivy league schools.

get Amaker on the phone ASAP

But Miami is the Harvard of the South with hotter chicks, a beach, and wonderful weather!!

You can't deny the chicks that you'll see at UM and South Beach, but..............could be a distractiion

play the long game.

pulling chicks at UM for 4 years. pulling chicks wherever he goes for as long as he wants cause he's got a great career and he's partying with the future Zuckerbergs of the world

Dave totally missed the Harvard of the South reference of the debate he was having with a cougar during the entire second half of the UM/UF game.

Disappointing.
