Swafford was prescient

It was back in March 2010 but Sacramento High Coach Derek Swafford hit the proverbial nail on the head with these quotes in a Josiah Turner article by Bill Paterson:

"...For a player who already has gotten at least 10 college scholarship offers, Turner needs to fine-tune his academic game and help prepare his Sac High teammates for a state title run next season, says Swafford.
"I don't think he has to go all over the country and play all these different people to be seen," Swafford said. "I think the coaches know who Josiah is."
He also hopes Turner will keep an open mind about college as the calls and offers continue to flood in.
"A D-I basketball factory may not be right for him," Swafford said. "Maybe a smaller program, like s St. Mary's, could be a better fit. You want to surround yourself with people who want the best for you, want you to graduate and get that degree. There are too many horror stories.
"I want him to realize success is how you complete yourself, not how people define you..."

Let's hope Turner is doing well up in Halifax and surrounding himself with good people.
