A teammate I was riding with to a 15u basketball tourney said, “my dream is to play short stop for the NY Yankees.” As 15 year olds, we laugh because he was our “designated 3pt shooter” off the bench for Kazoo Blues AAU (Kalamazoo, MI). Fast forward to spring 1992. That same teammate was drafted #9 to who else, the NY Yankees. My friend went to U of Michigan in the Fall of 1992, but his DREAM was to play in the MLB and it was right there in front of him. My friend and AAU teammate, Derek Jeter, wanted to fulfill his dream and he left the University of Michigan to do so. He turned out pretty well. I am not saying that Keegan will be a HOF player like my guy, but if he can live his dream, he gets to make that decision.
