He knew of the horror stories from others. Some players would lose their scholarships while some would never play at the same level again. He thought about that while sitting at the end of the bench with his injured knee.
It was just the month before when he was the star player on a promising Parkview High School team signing his National Letter of Intent to play basketball at his hometown Division I school.
