[QUOTE="BlindLoyalty, post: 1209098, member: 3773"] "Aubrey Dawkins' high school career was good, not great. Having grown from 5 foot, 8 inches at the start of his sophomore year in high school to 6-foot-5 by his senior year, Aubrey's frame never fit his game, and his fame never matched his name. During his senior year at Palo Alto High School, most wondered if Dawkins could be a legitimate Division I basketball player. He worked hard enough and played hard enough, but larger schools never took interest. The major scholarships still didn't flow in, however. Aubrey Dawkins topped out with a few offers from Atlantic Ten programs. Dayton and Rhode Island were very interested. Then Michigan -- a Big Ten program coming off an Elite Eight in 2014 and a Final Four in 2013 -- made contact. Now, over one year after graduating from Palo Alto and spending a season at New Hampton (N.H.) Prep, Aubrey Dawkins is on campus at Michigan. He was the recipient of a scholarship offer that came in the 11th hour, just over two months ago in mid-April." [/QUOTE]
