i watch Mike Glover and Mike Tuitt play for the last few years and them two players together is a real problem. Even though they might have bounce around during their High School careers, i believe student athlete tend to do so to find the right path. Both players came along way with their games n it should this pass summer.

Mike Tuitt who is a 6′3 180lb point guard from the Bronx is now attending Monroe College which he started 12 out of 14 games helping Monroe to a 13-1 start of their season.. running the team very well and seems to me he’s on the right path.

Mike Glover is a 6′6 SF 200lb from the Bronx is attending ASA juco in Bk, taking classes at this point trying to get cleared to play for the 2nd half of their season. Mike will be a major part of ASA success.

i can’t wait for these two players to match up against one another
Wed 01/28/08 ASA Away St. Francis College 8:00 PM
becaz its going to be a show down.

Mike was looking pretty good when I last saw him in practice pre season, he’s in top notch shape is about to help coach Kenny Wilcox and the rest of his staff a championchip at ASA. They got a great system at that school and are going to make Mike better with the things coach wilcox is going to teach him. After Mike kills everyone in juco 1 somone big is gonna recruit him, nowhere in BIG EAST of course with retrospect but he’s gonna land somwhere exclusive with the fact he’s going to be putting up the numbers that he’s good for 10 on the offensive glass and 20 or better on the score sheet

Elliot:

When a kid is in an institution, it is the responsibility
of the institution and the coaches to stay on top of the issue. The NCAA clearinghouse issues are ever changing and the fact that there is a lack of cooperation in some cases between school counselors and the NCAA is a big problem.

Then parents are not informed in a timely fashion about what classes will be needed to gain div 1 or 2 scholarship opportunity and kids get caught in not being informed. A school should do everything in its power to inform parents and have NCAA conference calls to review classes to make sure there up to the standards of the clearinghouse.

A school should also be competent enough to tell a kid about credits that will clear and will not. A lot of this responsibility is put on the students and the parents who don’t fully understand the clearinghouse, the rules, and certain time constraints.

If there is a college counselor, then that person should be the one held responsible to make sure the classes a kid has are the ones the clearinghouse should accept.

Mike will be a pro one day. But we are getting of the subject. When will the adults, coaches, advisors. Be held responsible. Who told Mike to go to prep school in chicago after his Sophmore year & then had him transfer to Christian academy for his senior year. Everybody has benefited from this kid but know one will step up and except the responsibility for this kid not being eligible.

Mike is a good player and maybe, just maybe, with some refinement he could position himself for the NBA. On the real, we can affirm that he is a pro baller, NBA excluded. He certainly will earn a check playing with his gifts. However, the “L” is a different matter. Where do you play Mike? He is probably most comfortable as a four, but he is the size of a lot of two guards, without the handles and shooting ability outside of fifteen feet.

I wish him well and once again, the ultimate measure of a players ability should not be the NBA. If young men, like Mike, are able to play overseas and subsist and take care of their families, then that is cool. They have won and are ahead of the game. Hopefully, though they still take care of their academics because nothing is forever and a brotha gots to have a back up plan. Ya dig!

Funky by nature

Mike is a super talent and when a kid jumps around like Mike has academics can suffer. The NCAA has increased its standards now from 14 core classes to 16 this year. If players are not aware of the requirements and don’t have that guidance counselor or coach that has interest they fall through the cracks.

I have seen mike glover play before his game is serious i seen him once a few summers ago summers ago in UDC in the bronx he was like 18 or 19 years old hold in it down For the bingo’s all-stars 23 and under squad and he was killing everybody. his 3-point range looked good then but i don’t know what happened to it after that and most recently i read about that combination 4 100 points he had in a whole weekend this past summer i believe that he got what i takes to go pro and i believe that a major D1 school could give him a scholarship once he’s finished with JUCO

as 4 those schools he attended i think one reason why he ended up going to boys II men academy then American Christian was probably because of academic reasons i could be wrong but i knew that prior to playing for those schools he played for James Monroe Campus in the PSAL and and throughout the years some of the good players from PSAL schools end up going straight to a JUCO or a post-Graduate prep school because some of the classes that are offered at most NYC public high schools are not accepted by the NCAA clearing house. trust me over the years it happend to alot of player s especially players in the PSAL.

That entire recruiting group of Pope, Glover, and Lawrence is looking more and more questionable.

Here’s one opinion at: http://www.nj.com/setonhall/index.ssf/2008/10/politi_risky_recruiting_will_p.html

That’s a tough break for Glover. He’s a horse on the floor. I hope he lands somewhere that will continue to foster his development. He has a lot of potential.
