What's the Player Watch all about?

The first part of the Player Watch is to follow New England ballplayers in their pursuit of the ultimate dream...The NBA...A larger part of the Player Watch is to follow college basketball prospects from New England in their quest to receive one of life's great gifts: the opportunity to play college basketball and receive a college education for free.  It's the Pot of Gold at the end of the Rainbow...It's called a Full-Scholarship, it's called a Full-Ride, it's called a Full-Boat.  But remember, this is is only a pot of gold if you graduate (or go the League)...If you don't get paid serious dollars professionally, and you don't earn a diploma, then all the time you invested in basketball will end up being good for nothing but memories...But on the whole, the main point of the Player Watch is to follow New England ballplayers in their pursuit of the opportunity at any level, because while that might not be a pot of luck in an actual financial sense, playing college basketball is no doubt one of life's great experiences...Here's the big misunderstanding...A lot of times, young players worry about "going D1" or "going high D1."  But here's the thing...once you get to campus, you throw all the D1, D2, D3 stuff out the window...it's just about playing ball for your school...Too many times, dudes try to go as "high" as possible, and then end up not getting the desired playing time..Again, once you get to campus, throw the D1, D2, D3 stuff out the window...Everyone just wants to play.
