The college predictions of division 1,2,3 or junior college is just Coach Earl's prediction if they continue to practice, grow, and train to be the best basketball player they can be. Most kids won't reach Coach Earl's College predictions due to other sports and activities they and their parents want to achieve. But if they continue to train with Coach Earl, he'll insure they reach the highest level possible.
