I still think this is fake for an 800 runner to switch to D1 basketball. Top 25 no way ever.

Wait, so you have the talent to play in a D1 school for basketball, but you chose to run instead and go to a D3 school? HAHAHA
i quit D1 track/xc for a year to play D3 football. it was fun, i dont regret it, but i ended up going back to D1 to run.
i played basketball against a couple mid-level D1 players in high school and they were insanely good, and also 6'4 or taller. how tall are you? what are your running times/basketball stats?
That makes more sense, less competition allows great female athletes to excel at most all sports.
I am a D3 grrl with a stress fracture, should I get a part time job at Hooters?
it takes a combination of so many variables to be successful at bball, one of which is basketball iq. Most people can only get the bball iq by playing for years and years. Duncan is one of the few who picked up basketball immediately.
many people just never get it.
Wow. Nice job Kpack for spotting me. That's actually pretty impressive haha. What tipped you off?
And I am 170 lb 800m runner. Not 6'3 though. About 6'0 and still growing.
Consulted doc and thinks I would be about 6'2 in 1 to 2 years. Bit small, but for a walk on guard sufficient I would think.
Always been very quick so my size hasn't hindered me. Shooting would be my greatest strength as I have been the best shooter of any team I've ever been on. (Should end if I walked on haha)
You might have kept a few people if you hadn't mentioned the doc thing.
Use yours brains people. This guy might not be literally trolling - he may just truly believe he can walk on....but regardless - there's no f'ing chance this is legit.
Hank Moody you already made your opinion known once. That is enough thank you.
You don't know me, haven't seen me play. How can you be so sure "There is no way this is legit".
It's possible for someone to be good at more than one sport you know...
My job is so stressful. Do you guys think I should quit and become and NFL General Manager? I watch ESPN all the time and I'd be great at it.
I'm always curious about people who are like this. I had a buddy run 4:3x in high school, go to a top tier NAIA school (still pretty bad but they had 2 sub 25 8k guys) and is now telling me he hates running competitively and wants to quit. I mean come on if I felt like I didn't like running I would have figured it out a long time ago!
To be fair I didn't run in high school.
The only sport I played in high school was basketball. Basketball was the only sport I played my whole life.
Got into running by letsrun standards very late.
You cannot walk on at ANY DI program for basketball, let alone a top 25 one. Maybe a Harvard type program, but considering you're DIII (notwithstanding your obvious lack of perspective and intelligence), there's no chance you have those kind of smarts.
If you really had the talent to play DI, even as a walk on, you would have been recruited widely and would not be running at a DIII school, you would be playing basketball there trying to get to the next level.
You largely overestimate your athletic ability. Hundreds of guys on here could run circles around you, on the track or on the court.
Oh, and 4/10, only because you pissed me off enough that I wanted to respond.
Also, the reason you are unhappy is because you are an ungrateful ba*tard. You are fortunate enough that your parents are paying for your education (even though you weren't athletic enough OR smart enough to get some money for them, must be frustrating), yet still find a way to whine about something. You are having "0" fun because you have "0" friends or girls to bang. And I can't blame them.
Stop being a pathetic human, get up, and do something monumental with your life if you want to have fun. Your environment doesn't make your memories, YOU make them. Dumba**.
Really? Why all the hate.
I never understand how a post cant make people so upset.
I don't need to prove myself to anyone. I can assure you I can get into the basketball school I am applying to. I don't know the people who post here so I am not going to comment on there athletic ability.
If there really are hundreds of kids here who could "run circles around me" on the track and on the court then I applaud you for being pretty dam good.
Darkstar let me put this in more simple terms for you since you failed to understand the original post. I would be going to one of the top 25 schools in the country for *Basketball*.
I did not say I would be attending one of the top 25 schools for academics... While yes I believe I could attend one of those as well, that is a totally different topic that needs not be brought up in this thread.
I'm on a half tuition academic scholarship right now silly. Don't derail the thread.
Please focus on the question at hand.
Is ba*tard French?
Because I have always wanted to be French. I think I could quit my life here in the USA and get elected President of France. I am not very tall, so I believe I could easily be a walk on candidate.
If need be, I can pay a middle aged former French Model to play the role of my wife.
