Well he nailed that one. Great read.

Pretty sure these letters were written in retrospect. They aren't actual childhood letters.

These successful people amaze me. They can see into the future. The rest of us are at a huge disadvantage.

You owe me one monitor cleaning. Note to self: never take a sip of anything before reading Hoophound's response to anything.

There is not a better guy out there than Emeka.

That was a helluva little recruiting piece he just gave us for free. It would only be better if he wrote that a year ago and also pointed out that he played in the largest market in the country without a pro team, while at a school making tremendous inverstments in its research programs.

17 year old David Ortiz looks exactly like...

...37 year old David Ortiz.

Also, Travis Pastrana's letter was really really good.

Above basketball, he had a goal to graduate in 3 years! Other players have a goal to leave college in 3 years to go Pro. Furthermore I don't recall any of my classmates (athletes or not) having a goal of graduating in 3 years. My goal involved women, fun, partying and surviving with a degree in 4 years.

The kid can be whatever he wants to be.

Great read. After close to 10 years. He still remembers the first practice.

The first practice will be a monster in every sense of the word. You'll learn that Coach Calhoun always makes that first practice hard because he wants to instill toughness. Afterward, everything will hurt. You'll lie in the fetal position in that extra-long, twin-sized dorm-room bed questioning if you have what it takes.

I wonder if Ollie's first practice is as tough ....
