Your future in sports?

[one.]

Does anyone here think that they'll be doing any sports after high school? If you do do you think you could get a scholarship at a big-time school to play?As for me, I think I might be able to do track at some small college, maybe as a walk on or something, cause I dont think I'm anywhere near good enough for any kind or scholarships.

 

[The Captain]

I might have a chance in baseball, or I hope. I've had lots of people say I'm really good and I should keep working and training because I might have a future in it. And not just Joe down the street either. 2 former Tigers (Milt Wilcox, Dave Roezma), a scout for the Devil Rays, and a couple high school coaches in the area were impressed. I don't know. I'm not going to be counting on it.

By the time I'm done with High School, which is four years from now, I may be able to play Golf for a d-1 college, if not, I'd be surprised if I can't play d-3.

[Memphology]

Yeah...I liked playing it okay..but I didnt have a love for it..I wouldnt have gone any further than college.

 

[P0W3RBALLIN]

I just play sports for fun, not TOO serious about sports.

 

[7Goat]

If I would've stuck with track, I would've been pretty darn good at it. Maybe get a scholarship or something.

I will be playing basketball for college, my coaches actually think I can play basketball overseas. I could see myself coming off the bench for a Euro team.

So many European players are great players from where they came from...a lot of very good American college players....etc....

Most shooters play well in any system, regardless of the competition. I'm extremely athletic/quick for my size, I shock alot of people with my speed.My coaches think I could play Euro ball, I'm going along with what their opinion is.

ESPECIALLY in Europe....

I'm not the Kyle Korver type, I do things other than score.

You're gonna need to eat some food though man. Since you've gone all anorexic, you make Tayshaun Prince look like David Ortiz.

 

[Rok]

Hey if you can be a Rental Cop, than Tony can be a European bench warmer.

 

[Memphology]

This isnt directed towards you BALLA...but I dont think some people realize how good DLeague, Euro, CBA players really are...they are extremely talent and good and athletic. And those are the ones nto good enough for the NBA....

Was mos def lined up to play tennis at the college im going to (D2). Then I tore my ACL and it was up in the air until a few days ago when they got a new coach and the guy basically begged me to rehab my ass of so I can come and play for his team in the fall.

Most Euro-teams are made up players that were elite where they grew up and have played in Euro-tournaments and been in the game most of their lives. It's just hard for me to believe that Tony could play there...I mean where do you play Tony, in like a rec-league? From that video you posted the competition didn't look very good and it was in an empty gym.

I already stated 4-5 times in my other posts that the players I play with are extremely talented. I know dunking doesn't make you a good basketball player, but they can do 360s, windmills, ect. Some dudes are 6-7, 6-8. I get stuck guarding those big guys sometimes, so I have experience guarding bigger players.I shouldn't have said anything, I knew people like BCB who aren't good at anything would make a smart comment.

 

[kingjamez]

Oh shi..I could def. see myself playing collegiate baseball if I keep my grades up, work hard, and really "want it".. I've taken so much for granted, and I know I cant do that now in HS - with college scouts around.. I throw about 78 mph pitching, I've always been the best defensive player on the field, and I hit for average (I hit .620 2 years ago, and .480 last summer).. I love basketball and football, but baseball is my first love obviously - and I live for it..

BALLA, what team do you play for? Aret you homeschool?

Unless you get a bit taller I don't see you hanging with 6'2" guards.As for me, I could see myself being all-american in model UN........but that's about it.

Our team was really good also, one of the best teams in the state. Other than that, I have been playing on highly competitive travel teams.I just became home schooled recently.

Im done with basketball. I just play with friends here and there when I canLawl @ Tony

 

[BrewCityBuck]

My friend Ryan from school used to play HS basketball against some of the best players in state, like Marcus and Carl Landry, Brian Butch, Mike Flowers and Greg Steimsma....he was a very solid player, but there's no way he could play in Europe and he was 6'4".
