I wish that I had possessed your sense of social consciousness at fifteen, Andre. Apparently, you're a long-time social entrepreneur, too. Your goal to take basketball and use it to encourage young, black men to consider college and the scholarships that may be available to them is commendable. Of course, the fun dimension of the sport should never be diminished either, right? And focusing young people's attention on higher education ought to take place regardless of whether there's basketball-scholarship money available, too. After all, if we all had to depend solely on athletic scholarships to attend college, many of us would never have made it.

For me is a perfect idea, I know what feels to take a dream and made it true, I’m from México and me family has not much money, but since I was young, I played football and basketball, and at 15 the best school in México, ITESM, offer me an scholarship, the living of studding and playing college basketball is really exiting and doing this is really cool for you and for the proud of your parents. I really happy that people as you want to help boys to reach the dream that I’m already reach because a I know that is a unique living and a great opportunity to grown as person =)
