Downey currently possesses no offers; however, he has received new interest from “Knox College”. It is startling that he has not drawn a lot of interest at this point. He can do anything and everything a coach expects from a high school point guard. In addition, his grades are above impressive as he carries a “4.6 weighted GPA”.
Despite his great skills, Downey is not sure of what his future holds.
“At this point, I'm just looking to have a successful year both as a team and individually and see what comes out of that. As of right now, I'd like to play at the next level.”
His parents are offering assistance in the decision; however, they have not put an emphasis one way or another. Even though he is slightly leaning more towards playing, at the end of the season, he will decide “if I want to play at the next level.”
Downey has the skills and ability to play at the next level. If he makes that choice, look for him to be a true diamond in the rough. His pass first mentality some times makes him get over looked. He is capable of scoring from an array of areas and is an above average athlete.
