Brandon Jennings... "The Trendsetter"

A lot of controversy and hype has recently been put in to the move that "ex" Arizona commit Brandon Jennings has made in going overseas to play in the Italian league for a year and then come back for the NBA draft in 2009. The move came as a reaction to the NCAA questioning his SAT score because the first time he took it, he did not qualify so he took it a second time. When his score jumped up an immense amount of points the NCAA stepped in. Brandon Jennings says the first time he took it he was not taking it seriously and the second time taking the test he put effort into it. Tell me who in their right mind would not take one of the most important test in their lives seriously, that could be the difference between being a number one draft pick or a number five pick. Not a big deal until you put contract details and collective bargaining into it. So after the SAT mishap, Brandon Jennings signs with Lottomatica Virtus Roma of the Italian league. The team has had numerous past and current NBA players on it, most notably George Gervin. So now Brandon Jennings is officially a history maker having become the first high school player to play professionally,( most notable high school player of course).
