<p>“I see a ton of ludicrous examples of recruiting athletes to top schools. For example, OJ Mayo has told USC he wants to play there for a year, until he’s eligible for the NBA.”</p>
<p>Is there something wrong with that? Most athletes don’t yell out “YES!!! I get to do Calculus right after basketball practice!!!” But that doesn’t mean they won’t do well there. </p>
<p>But honestly, if the NBA was in your future, would you really care about Calculus, Chemistry, and all that stuff?</p>
<p>And that kid still deserves to be there even more than the student’s place he’d be taking. He’s a great athlete. Being a great athlete is just as good as being a great student, probably even better if you can go pro.</p>
