Jennings’ SAT Scores Might Determine European Future

Brandon Jennings, the 6-2 point guard from Virginia’s Oak Hill Academy, is the nation’s top high school basketball recruit. Sought after my several major programs at the college level, he might end up at the University of Arizona… that is, if he can get the appropriate SAT score. Apparently Jennings has not been able to get the minimum score to attend Arizona, although his latest test results are due out soon. If he fails again, he might opt out of going to college at all, instead, hopping a plane for a European league team. As the quote from the ESPN article about him says, he was only intending to be a one-and-done player anyways. So why not go to Europe to play and get paid… and see the world.

When Jennings received a notice from the NCAA that his scores were being flagged, he said: “It’s made me mad. Even if I get the scores this time, there’s no guarantee I’m going to college. No one has answers and the NCAA is a different group… Besides I was planning on one year at Arizona.”

What would you do if you were Jennings? Personally, the Final Four Blog is a fan of him learning the game in Europe. School clearly isn’t his thing, so making him attend classes just so he can be seen at the college level is a joke to the institution. Besides, in Europe he’ll get paid …and be able to spend more time getting better at hoops.
