Junior college is exactly that a "junior" competition. Many Players go over there and they are killing it in the comp avg 20+ points a game , come back here to play youth league and are lucky to even score! what does that tell you of the competition. They would be better staying here and studying harder getting their grades up then finding a div1 college or even a decent div2 if they really want to go to the USA, but again some of the div2 colleges are less of a comp than the bigv youth champ. Go to USA for the right reasons, if you want a free education where you can also play some ball then make sure the college covers you academically, do not go purely because it's basketball in America.

Why is "going to college" marked as whether something/someone is successful or not? Plenty of players here in Oz that are well ahead of the talent that we see going to college.

With the added bonus of facebook, youtube or the internwet in general the level of players we send overseas is at an all time low.

So many players heading off to play at Juco schools and other low level colleges that are below the stadard they are playing here in OZ, all because they have the USA stars in there eyes.

People like to come on here and talk crap about all these acedemies etc because kids come back dissappointed with there college experience, perhaps they were not that good to begin with!! or they just ended up going to a place that was beneth where they are now.

Rewind 10-15 years ago, players actaully got cut from programs and senior teams. Eith extra sides, youth league etc now available there is no risk of "not making them team" so how are you to expect you`re going to create an enviroment of urgency and competitiveness?

Society as a whole just babying people.
