Preps coach mentors Dallas junior

A self-professed old-school coach, Paul Graham of Dallas Skyline hasn't changed his demanding ways, and junior forward Ed'Xavier Rhodes has been a beneficiary.

"It's hard," Rhodes said. "He builds me up in life and in basketball. He doesn't just coach me in basketball, he coaches me how to handle adversity outside of basketball. I've learned mostly how to be a man and how to compete with top level competition. It gets me better."

Rhodes, 6-9, 200 pounds, has scholarship offers from Kansas, Texas A&M, TCU and others while drawing strong interest from the University of Arkansas.
