Just after writing about Brandon Jennings success in Europe more high school players are opting or looking at the option to play pro basketball in Europe instead of attending college. Jeremy Tyler is another high school sensation who is planning his new season abroad in Europe to make himself eligible for the 2011 NBA Draft. There are pros and cons to this option.. I think it all depends on the individual, however some say that college is not for everyone. This is true, however playing a professional sport is not always guaranteed for the rest of your life.

I personally get a lot of questions from high school players who want to for seek a Europe pro contract. If that is what you want you will need to be the following

• Extremely well known player (basically a top recruit)
• Helped your team to titles or state championships
• A well known basketball agent
• Played in front of European coaches in tournaments in Europe (helps a lot)

What do you think??

This is amazing or everyone is busy. But the Hops Shoe contest still does not have a winner. If you check the last post the first winner and second winner was chosen however no one responded. So, what am I going to do. The first person who replies to this post (former contestants only) will be the winner of the Hops Shoe Contest. If no one responds, I’m going to sport them myself .. LOL..

Both Men and Women NCAA Finals was a true blow out! But very nice to see two teams play great team basketball. Congrats to UNC and UCONN for great basketball and especially UCONN making it three perfect championship seasons under coach Geno Auriemma.
