[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 1027539, member: 7261"] Much like JJ, TJ just kept getting better and better. I think most scouts were aware of his talent, just not the fact that he hadn't even come close to his ceiling in college ball. I think that could be the case for a lot of players, but sadly, some of them get the big check and coast. If I was a scout, a big aspect of my evaluation would be looking at what the kid did off the field from year to year. How much of what he did was mandatory and how much was self motivated voluntary. I've mentioned it a few times, but over the years my job in Student housing has provide me with pretty close contact to a lot of athletes. People would be amazed to see what some of these athletes are like off the field/court/ice rink/track, etc....both good and bad. So when I see one fail, that I have had contact with, usually it is no surprise. On the good side, I have dealt with some wonderful "kids" and their maturity and readiness to become adults, usually shines when they leave school. [/QUOTE]
