Today was a special day for a young man that we have been in contact with for the past few weeks as we have offered a player a full tuition scholarship to play for us. This is a very special time for him and his family and it couldn't have gone to a better young man. I felt very honored to be a part of this day. The thing that people do not tell you is how the game of basketball can change a person's life. Him, and his family, will not have to worry about expenses tied with his education. In addition, he will be able to leave with an associates degree when his time is up. The ultimate goal is for this young man to graduate from Edison and take his talents to a 4 year institute to get his bachelors degree. Overall, a great day spent with this young man and his family.
