said he's heard mid first to early 20's.

Wish him a lot of luck Nick is a great story. His older brother was murdered by Blood gang members when Nick was 5. he flunked out of his first HS, transferred and found himself in a room full of Bloods at his new school, so he stopped going to school and flunked out again. Went to Cleveland HS, got his act together, finally got eligible to play.

USC offered him a scholarship, his AAU teammate Jordan Farmar tutored him on the SAT and he graduated. ON graduation day he got a letter confirming he'd passed the SAT. UCLA offered him but he decided to stick with SC since they'd stuck by him, and he and Farmar were friendly rivals.

Nice to see a kid with such a rough childhood make it out in one piece.

Sounds like Pruitt will declare tomorrow or Thursday but nobody knows if he'll hire an agent or not.

Still waiting for a final decision on Collison, his mom says he's staying but you never know, the less PG's that declare the more likely he might test.
