Opposition Growing Towards National Letters of Intent
Posted Apr 15, 2015
In his 17 years as the basketball coach at St. Raymond’s High School in The Bronx, Gary DeCesare estimates that 20 of his 35 players who committed to Division 1 schools never signed a National Letter of Intent. Instead, DeCesare advised them to sign scholarship papers only. That line of thinking is exactly why Stephen Zimmerman, a 7-footer from Las Vegas Bishop Gorman, doesn’t plan to sign an NLI when he commits this spring. “It doesn’t protect the student-athlete, only the University,” Lori Zimmerman, the player’s mother, told SNY.tv.
