Reply to "What comes after college athletics and loss of identity"

Kind of on topic: Personally I have seen a bigger issue with those that get drafted out of high school than those that take the college route. Most of the players I have known that took the college route have come out the other side pretty successful. On the other hand a number of the drafted high school kids have had issues (Small sample size).  3 of the 5 that I know personally that were drafted ended up with addiction problems (1 alcohol and 2 drugs), 1 went back to school, and one made it to the show (now a coach). On a side note, the 3 with addiction problems all played in the steroid era. They all were released due to injuries and never got their lives back on track.
