    I don't think Lin was trying to go to ASU or Florida.

    Stanford should have recruited him. Home town boy with lots of fans. Lin would probably have been drafted at least in the second round had he gone to a Division I school.

    Stanford really screwed up this one. Could've field a team of Lopez brothers + Landry Fields + Jeremy Lin. Pretty competitive team IMO.

    If they offered him a d1 scholarship I bet he would have gone.

    Relax, breathe...Jeremy and Harden will be fine. Leave the drama in Hollywood.

    "As a freshman in highschool Jeremy got a 790 out of 800 on his advance math SAT2 subject test, true or false?" The beard says "TRUE" LOL

    "Earlier this year James inspired a Thunder fan to get a tattoo of his face on his arm, true of false?" Linsanity says "TRUE" Harden's reaction is hilarious.

    Havard is a Division I school. You mean one of the power conferences.

    I don't think so. I don't think he targeted professional basketball at that stage.

    They were picked to the All State team; doesn't mean they were team mates or played together...

    And Harvard is a Division I school, just not in a major conference...

    Lin's first choice was Stanford. Second choice was UCLA. I think Harvard was his last choice cause he hates East Coast weather. I'm pretty sure he valued his education more than basketball at that time and was strictly going to attend a good academic school and getting into their basketball programs would have been a bonus.

    Trust me on this and I dnt know Lin personally but every basketball player who plays d1 basketballs goal is the play professionally. Lin is smart he went to Harvard he could be making 250k plus right now doing something else. He always had his eyes on the NBA and that's why he got cut 3 times and still kept coming back. You can't put a price on what u love and his love is basketball not academics every tho he's extreamly good at both.

    Yes, I'm aware of that. I took some privileges with the headline.

    Ryan Anderson from that All State team would be good to have.
