Carlos Galan - PG - Gompers - Bronx, NY

Isn't Juice not exactly a full time program?  Don't their guys run with a lot of other teams?

Do AAU events have age limits at all..? I thought this kid was 19...

It's my understanding that most events are 17U

It goes by class year. So 17U would be rising seniors. Some tournaments also have Open divisions which are post grad guys

Website said they take accredited online courses. Hope he doesn't mess up his eligibility. I never heard of anyone on their roster. Only been around a short time.

Looks like I have my 6,7th and 8th grade intramural backcourt set.  Jevon and Carlos are going to be elite

How about picking up Davontay Grace off waivers and running three-guard sets?

Carlos is a good kid and language issues as well as coming to NYC from the DR has likely led to these academic troubles.

Can't believe that he was the initiator of that fight

He may have been the scapegoat though

He was homesick as well

I am not sure why he isn't looking at Monroe which obviously was a good destination for fellow DR player Orlando 

JC is not a bad thin for these kids, play ball, get their study habits in order, mature as a person

More kids should embrace it, you could always sit out your first year and go to school, play your second, and have 3 years at a d! school.   

any update on this kid and how he did this year...?
