Do you think a college student who averaged 5 ppg in high school can play at a D1 college basketball level?
I'm asking this because I am a college sophomore at a Sun Belt school. I've transferred from a D2 school last year because my major wasn't offered. In high school, I was a lettermen for the boy's high school team for 3 years. I averaged 0.0 ppg, 0.0 rpg my sophomore. My junior year, I transferred to another school the first semester and came back to my old school and averaged 0.6 ppg and 0.0 rpg in just five games. Before my senior year, my high school team went to 3 basketball camps over the summer and therefore, my scoring got better. Then my senior, I averaged 5.1 ppg and 2.3 rebounds. I didn't get no awards or no honors but I did lead the team in free throw percentage because I only missed one free throw out of the whole year. I never got looked at by any college and I was really interested in playing for a college basketball team but that dream fail down the drain after I graduated from high school and went on to the D2 school and found out I couldn't play. Now, that I'm at a D1 school, I missed my 2nd year because I didn't make the walk-on tryouts in the fall. Every since then, I've been working on my shot, dribble, and speed. I've also talked to the men's head coach and asst. coach at the university. I've also finished the fall semester with a 3.2 GPA and this spring with a 2.5 GPA, which gives me a 2.88 cumulative GPA. They asked me for game films of me in high school and I did that for them but never heard from them about how they evaluated me. They gave me the opportunity to play with their basketball players over the summer but the coaches cannot be in attendance because of NCAA rules. Right now, I'm thinking going for that opportunity but I am not sure because I might not be accepted as a walk-on because of my averages in high school. Alot of people tell me that I should play on the basketball team because I have a pure shot and I can play really good. Sometimes, I'm not very positive and give up on basketball because sometimes I feel like it's not for me but I was blessed with these talents. I would love to hear your answers so I can think about this. Thanks !
