Since they aren’t gonna single him out for this accomplishment, I guess I will:
I’m headed to ISU this weekend to see my kid graduate with a BA in Business Management — in 3 years (3.45 GPA)
Without a single credit before college.
He’ll get his MBA next spring. Before age 22

One travel team. One high school team. One college team.
Loyalty hasn’t always been the easiest path, but it’s the path he’s chosen. As a dad, I couldn’t be prouder.

My kid was offered by a team that was in the D2 national title game and is actively recruiting D1 kids to make another push at a title run. Do I believe my kid is a D1 prospect? Of course. PLNUs sincere interest in him confirms it. I’m ecstatic!

Big week for you, kid. We moved you up to Idaho, and learned you were a unanimous All CIF 1st Team Selection. I know you don’t say much, but I know how much it meant to you, and you proved it with your game.
Proud of you, son.

I’m who I am today as a direct result of the influence of Harriet Burgin
She doted on me, lifted me up, didn’t mince words when she felt I strayed off course but still showered me with unconditional love
After 101 years, she’s finally at rest. Thank you grandma. For everything

Last year, AJ was league player of the year, but faded in the playoffs. We talked about it before the start of the playoffs. He vowed to not have a repeat.
In the 4-game run: 26 ppg, 13.25 rpg, 6 apg, 57% FG

Can’t tell you how many people told me not to send AJ to San Diego High. Why wouldn’t I? The International Studies School is amazing, it’s five minutes from home, and he’s part of the school’s best hoops team in a decade. It was an easy decision.

I also know that a lot of people talk about the new wave of Latino hoopers who are changing basketball. Proud that my son, who if you didn’t know is 1/2 Mexican, is part of that group.

Even more proud of a comment a referee made recently when he said that AJ was the nicest, most respectful kid he ever officiated. He's a very good basketball player, but an even better person, and I am blessed beyond measure to call him my son.
