Since his days as the Gatorade New Mexico basketball player of the year, during his senior year at Albuquerque's Eldorado High School, Cullen Neal is used to receiving awards and nominations. It just comes with the territory of being a star athlete, unfortunately Neal lives in the "fish bowl" that is Albuquerque.
When your dad is the top assistant and then the head coach of the state's top University, you tend to be under a microscope. Everything Cullen does is scrutinized. From the incident his mom had with a former Albuquerque assistant principal to the kiss he blew at the student section in Wyoming his freshman year.
