Crazy Beasley article

For Beasley, It's a Jumping Point - washingtonpost.com

Written back in high school. I know it would be impossible to turn down an amazing talent like him, but I honestly think McD is recruiting lifelong Cyclones and that means a lot too.

Thanks for posting the article. I'm just more disenchanted with how pro sports has killed the true sportsmanship of amateur athletics, particularly at the college level (and even getting into high schools).


At Notre Dame Prep, Beasley treats high school less like a destination than an obstacle he must bypass in order to reach the NBA. He counts down the days until he leaves for his freshman year at Kansas State, until he turns 19 next January and finally becomes eligible for the NBA draft.
"I'm just killing time here," said Beasley, who averages 28 points and 16 rebounds from the forward position. "Sometimes it seems like high school lasts forever."
