Jeremy Lin and the Match

Read an interesting article on Jeremy Lin this morning and thought about how it related to us this time of year as we're ranking programs.

Basically, the article talks about Jeremy Lin being successful in NY because of Mike D' Antoni's system. It's an offense that allows true point guards to thrive. It also mentions other players finding success late in their career as they found systems and coaches that allowed them to really excel at their position.

Something I need to really consider as I finalize my rank list. Just because a particular program has a better reputation doesn't necessarily mean I'll be more successful there. I need to find a program that's structured in a way that will allow me to be the best version of me.

This whole process has been a long and tiring journey, but definitely worthwhile as I'm finding myself all over again.

One more week guys, then another three. Almost there.. Hang in there.

But Lin went to Harvard....so if you want to play for the Knicks you need to go to the Brigham


in all seriousness you are 100% correct

The same stuff we said all year starting this summer. It's nice to know you guys are finally starting to get it.

Great post! Couldn't have said it better. Good luck to all of the applicants this year!

The only caveat is that you don't truly know a program until you get there.
