What's the point of playing NAIA?

Most players would be better off long term focusing on school.

You keep playing as long as you can, regardless of level. One day you will wake up and not be able to compete anymore.

most at the naia level already knows the ball going flat at the elite level in 4 years.. ask all them kids who are students now and played hoop their whole if they would do anything to leave intramurals and get on the team.

are they only available to athletes? or are they academic that then play athletics.

No, they're Athletic scholarships. The players have to qualify academically, though.

Does anybody know if the kid from Weston Ranch Gavin Wilburn signed with anybody. Or is he headed to Modesto JC.

AND GETTING to travel for free.
SEEINg different places. What's wrong with that?

Why not do both if you can. Athletics can help with school by keeping you on a tight schedule. People like to be part of a team and compete. Nothing wrong with that.

Quite a few of the Cali NAIA schools are highly rated academic institutions. I'd rather go that route than say a D2 school that doesn't offer the same level of education. Any rate, any player that gets the opportunity to play at the next level (D1,2,3, NAIA, JC) should be proud. Getting an education, especially at a reduced price, while playing ball is an experience that should not be taken for granted. How many kids that love the game of basketball have to "hang it up" following their last high school contest.......…..

And to a small extent, there is the basketball industry itself. This lets players who have finished up there playing days keep involved. It leads to coaching, training , media, and other auxiliary occupations with sports in general.

Here's wishing you great hoops
