No secret there about Bolden heading to Findlay Prep.
Nonetheless, great coverage and exposure for both Exum and Bolden (not to mention Simmons as well in other media coverage) over in the US of A.

Think he's going to Findley for his senior season? Either way its a great way for him to play with some elite high school players.. Findley in the last few years have ranked in the top 1-2 teams annually it seems and they have another great team this year(tho they lost there head coach who joined UNLV as an assistant)

Bolden and Pinder are both very raw when compared to Exum & Simmons so hopefully they can develop but wouldn't be putting to much pressure on either.
Let's hope by heading to school in US Bolden can continue to develop and take his game to the next level.

How does it work, doing your year 12 in the USA? How does this affect college eligibility, obviously the same subjects must be completed...
Is this considered a good option for only those kids who are looking at NBA?
Anyone have an idea or knowledge on the pro's or con's...?

Aaron Gordon has signed with Arizona.
There are considerate pro's if your a decent player and your high school plays on a national level like Montverde Academy(Simmons)or findlay prep(Bolton).(findlay Prep is bit of a exemption as its not actually a school but more a basketball faculty of Henderson International School)
Has no impact on college eligibility as long as you get the marks.
Pros- Playing against a higher level competition.
Gives you national exposure to all the College recruitment scouts, especially the major college conferences(Predominately East Coast).
Major conference = Televised games = more exposure = greater chance of being drafted.
If Delly and Patty played for a mid/major or major college they would most likely been drafted/ or drafter higher.
Cons - Not seeing your family for a year. Miss out on opportunities to play in nationals and potential some junior international tournaments.
