Ben McLemore story

[IrishSpartan]

Truly remarkable story about Kansas shooting guard and probable top 5 pick in the upcoming NBA draft.

Kansas' Ben McLemore fights through poverty to NCAA's center stage

Amazing story, I read a similar one a couple months ago. Wellston was the worst school in STL before it got shut down. McLemore's AAU team The St. Louis Eagles was sick though; Beal, McLemore, Biedscheid, Roosevelt Jones.

I hate Mizzou (story for a different day) so I've been following and rooting for McLemore this year, most of my friends hate it.

Loved watching him this year, and selfishly would love one more....but in that situation I don't think he can stay. Has to help his family.

He's gone. And I think any coach would tell him to go. Great kid, from what we can tell.

Report from USA Today that Eagles coach took $10K and more intended to steer McLemore.

No bueno

The story seems to be more about the AAU coach and not McLemore. It's despicable that guys like this and Willie Lyles try exploit these kids for their own personal gain.
