UK recruit Brandon Knight, who is regarded as the #1 player in the 2010 class by some, will be keeping an online diary for Slam Online documenting a day in the life of a McDonald's All-American.
The first diary entry was written earlier today by Brandon's mother and offers a unique perspective into the young man's life. By reading her work, you can definitely see why Brandon is such a good student and bolsters a 4.3 GPA.
Some excerpts:
Five, four, three, two….one. As the buzzer sounded the crowed stood up and began to clap wildly. Somewhere in the corner Pine Crest students began to chant Brandon’s initials and the rest of the fans joined in, “BK…BK…BK…”
And so it was over, just like that my son’s high school career had ended. As I looked at Brandon limping to the center of the court (with a pulled groin) to accept his runner-up medal in The State Championship game, I cried. It was at that moment that it hit me–not the fact that we had lost the state championship, but rather the fact that my son would never play in another high school game again. I realized that the final chapter had been written and that this particular book was closed forever. As I stood next to my husband wiping my eyes, trying my best not to let the tears fall, he seemed to read my mind.
