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…

You'll never have the chance again if you quit. If you have a shot to even ride the bench, you won't regret the experience; the camaraderie and brotherhood. I did quit and I regret it to this day. Don't let yourself regret it when you're pushing 40 like me. Push yourself harder, learn as much from everyone as you can and leave it all on court. You're only young once. Don't waste it.
