Although I still believe in 2nd chances, I have learned after over 40 years in Law Enforcement the chances of not continuing their ways are very much against it, and they need monitoring and investigation before and after permitted.....
There is an old adage given by wise men.....If you were to enter a jungle, capture and mark a lion, and returned 20 years later and found the same marked animal, it would still be a lion...
The saying that ''There is no such thing as a bad boy'' has done much more harm then its intended good.
He may be worth the chance, but let the buyer beware.....
Here is another old adage (a bit longer) given by wise men. It's something I have learned after 35 years of supporting young women and men as they prepared to enter adulthood and the world we all created for them.
"Once upon a time, there was a wise man that used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he started his work.
One day, as he was walking along the shore, he looked down the beach and saw a human figure moving like a dancer. As a result, he walked faster to catch up with this individual.
As he got closer, he noticed that the figure was that of a young man and he was not dancing after all. He was reaching down to the shore, picking up small objects and throwing them into the ocean.
As he approached, he called out Good morning. May I ask what it is that you are doing?
The young man paused, looked up, and replied Throwing starfish into the ocean.
I must ask, then, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean? asked the somewhat startled writer.
To this, the young man replied, The sun is up and the tide is going out. If I don’t throw them in, they’ll die.
Upon hearing this, the writer commented, But, young man, do you not realize that there are miles and miles of beach and there are starfish along every mile? You can’t possibly make a difference!
At this, the young man bent down, picked up yet another starfish and threw it into the ocean. As it sank into the ocean, he said: It made a difference for that one.."

We've had guys who have gone JuCo first or transferred in; have we had any with this type of unresolved problem with the law? What is the status of this case against this guy? Has he been exonerated? It appears UConn dropped out, if that's not a red flag what is? I guess I have a lot of questions with this one.
Verbal Commits @verbalcommits 3m3 minutes ago 2016 Hutchinson CC (KS) F Bashir Ahmed has received an offer from Iowa State.
Same place as Tavon started?
Yes. They have some local kids on their roster... Dustin Hogue (Yonkers) an Hallice Cook (Union City, NJ). They are going the JUCO/transfer route as well:
Hallice Cook - Oregon Transfer Dustin Hogue - JUCO Jameel McKay - JUCO and Marquette transfer Abdel Nader- Northern Illinois transfer Kourtlin Jackson - JUCO Bryce Dejean-Jones - USC and UNLV transfer Daniel Edozie - JUCO
ray salvane 6'2" guard from nyc....sju just offered him....where is 86'.....any info?
We are not on him but here is some info.
Rashond "Ray" Salnave -6'2" Combo guard from Cardozo and Juice All Stars. Offers from Manhattan, Dayton, Fordham, SPU, DePaul and now SJU. Looks from NOVA, Kansas, Florida Hofstra, Arizona, Creighton, Miami and Minnesota. Has a very good handle... a wicked cross over, passes well, has good court vision and gets to the basket easily. Lots of potential. Some think he is the best player in his class in NYC... i would say that Rawle Alkins from Christ The King holds that title pretty securely.
