Which makes it pretty sad. Kid has some serious confidence issues. Hope he learns how to deal with all that in a healthy way.

I don’t think it was actually Austin. I think the mods had it nailed down at one point but that’s been a while. I also could be thinking of something else, but I’m pretty sure it wasn’t Austin.

From an article that appeared in the Gary Post-Tribune -

 Don Bosco is a prep school that only takes kids who qualify for college.

Annual tuition and fees are relatively cheap — around $16,500 — compared to a full-time prep school. The article states that Northfield Mount Hermon in Massachusetts, where Crown Point’s Spike Albrecht attended prep school, lists room, board and tuition at $59,500, plus $2,015 in mandatory fees.

Don Bosco’s teams practice at the old Crown Point High School and play at Indiana University Northwest.

Students’ days are loosely structured, according the Post-Tribune. They take three classes at Ivy Tech. They practice. They work on their strength and agility. Mostly, it’s about playing and getting exposure.

Twenty-six players have gone on to college, including 14 who signed with Division-I schools. The rest, with a few exceptions, got a scholarship to play college basketball.

I was curious about what our friend Austin was up to on the drive home  and did some quick research, for those interested see below:

-Austin's is still at Don Bosco Prep in Crown Point IN

-He recently received a scholarship offer from Ferris St. (October '18)

-No updates to report on college interest letters or head coach phone calls

Feel a little sorry for him.  IMO he was so overwhelmed with his own ego and his 54-point game, he couldn't see his own limitations and work for improvement and make himself a more marketable college basketball player.

His dad was his worst enemy when it came to basketball.

There is a 6'8" Kace Kitchel on that roster- related to IU's Ted?

I'm terrible with family trees, but his dad, Jon Kitchel, is cousins with Ted.

Noticed there was a Ky Palombizio on the roster. Apparently he's a nephew of Dan Palombizio.  For you youngsters, he was a Indiana Mr Basketball.  Thanks for sharing Hardwood. I didn't know this place existed.

"I should have committed and signed with Indiana," Palombizio said. "I made a mistake. Indiana won the (1981) national championship and they wanted to redshirt me. I was Mr. Basketball and didn't want to redshirt. I wanted to play right away."

 

I found this little nugget on"Where are they now" .  Apparently, he had verbally committed to IU, but red shirting wasn't appealing. He signed with Purdue, but that didn't work out so Ball State was his final destination.
