Albert Einstein once said, “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.” Marcus Aurelius broke it down like this, “Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.” Then one of my homeboyz, Royce Bradley put it where the goats could get it when he spit, “Life is a thinkin’ man’s game!”
Well playas…you’ve got to give ESPN 300 and four-star QB, Brevin White, tall props for thinkin’ like a grown man with great vision. The 2018 standout quarterback from Lancaster, California told ESPN that he was stickin’ with his initial commitment and goin’ to Princeton instead of Alabama.
Ole boy committed to Princeton in July even though he had offers from Arizona State, Memphis, Utah, Washington and Washington State just to name a few. Bama just got in the mix when they offered him on January 25. The Crimson Tide were able to get him on campus the same weekend for an official visit.
However, even after seein’ all of the glitz and glamour of Alabama he still told them that he was good on Princeton. If he were from where I’m from he would have said, “Naw, I’m straight.”
Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! Boyz are lookin’ at this kid like he’s crazy for passin’ up Bama for Princeton. Well playas…those are cats with shallow minds. First of all, Bama already has a truck load of four and five-star quarterbacks in Tuscaloosa. They’ve got Jalen Hurts and we all saw them pull Tua Tagovailoa off of the bench in the national title game to win it all and they’ve got four-star stud Mac Jones still sittin’ in the cut from the 2017 class.
Not to mention, how many quarterbacks are comin’ out of Alabama goin’ to the league every year? Yeah, I know that he can win a national title or at the very minimum play for one if he goes to Bama. But the dun won’t be playin’ and the chances of him goin’ to the NFL from Bama are just as good goin’ from Princeton or anywhere else. If he can play he can play but he can’t get the same academic experience and foundation outside of the Ivy League. And which will last longer? Football or that darn degree from Princeton? And he still can go to the league from Princeton, New Jersey if he’s good enough.
Jeremy Lin has been in the NBA for 8 years and he’s got a degree from Harvard. Are you kiddin’ me? He hasn’t even started his second career yet. Can’t you imagine the contacts he’s got from Harvard alone combined with what he’s done in the NBA in terms of networkin’? It’s NUTS!!!
Do you realize that Princeton is an Ivy League School bruh? Bein’ able to attend a school like that is like hittin’ the lottery. Everybody doesn’t get that type of opportunity. PRINCETON? C’mon bruh and yes I know that they don’t give athletic scholarships but the fact that he and his parents aren’t trippin’. You shouldn’t be either. They’ve either got the bread or Princeton’s figured something out for him academically.
Whatever the case, I salute the kid for bein’ intelligent enough to make a GROWN man decision about his future as a teenager. Stop me when I start lyin’.

The G is excluded from the endings of all words because the G is near and dear to my heart because I’m from “The G” which is Gary, Indiana. So I only use the G when I’m talkin’ about “The G!”
