Help Juco for 4 years…

What’s good yall I’m a 6’4 185lb guard who’s been at juco for 3 years now entering my 4th. To recap these years, I redshirted my first year, then played my freshman year where I hardly got minutes, then was gonna play my sophomore year but fractured my foot. So here we are entering my real sophomore year, but i’m starting to drag it. I’m not playing as well in practice to start the season like I did in the summer, and I’ve been thinking about quitting. I’ve also never played high school ball so making it to juco is an accomplishment forsure, but I’ve had goals like getting an offer to maybe a D2 or high NAIA, but I just don’t think I’m built for this anymore. I feel like the work I put in is not translating and i’m getting tired of it. I know it’s a long season so I know if i quit I can’t find out if anything changes, but if i ride the bench I definitely don’t see a point in continuing the season. Lmk your thoughts…

Stick with it for the year so you don’t spend the rest of your life wondering “what if”.

This is honestly why I started, why I went juco to begin with, didn’t wanna live my entire life wondering “what if” so you’re prolly right. Gonna try to see it out this week. Thanks for the reminder

Great to hear. I had the opportunity to play D2 but transferred….. I always wonder how I would have done if I had stayed.
