Re: TNET: Isaiah Simmons "probably will" cry when his name is called in NFL Draft

He will cry alright, but it be bc of all those millions that he will have in his bank account at one time. More money than most people could ever just wish for, and he will see it in his bank statement!!!

When you hear these very young adults say, this is what I have worked for all my life, (News Flash) they have barely began their lives and they're already millionaires. The thought of champaign and caviare dreams have become a reality without dreaming about it any longer!!!

Men my age and older that was actually really good with the sport we loved the most at a young age, we never gave thought to getting rich playing that sport that we lived to play as young adults in Isaiah Simmons age group. Not bragging, I'm just saying that I had a BB glove on my right hand even farther back than I can remember bc my daddy loved pro BB. Through little league, summer leagues, and HS baseball, I was what the coaches back then called a hot shot 2nd baseman with a little better than average with the bat, and bc of the way I swung the bat, most every ball I hit were linedrives a little to the left of or right over 2nd base, depending on the pitch I committed to when I saw it coming. I hardly ever struck out, and the only HR I ever hit was only bc of era's by the fielder and I was pretty fast on my feet, and if my long term memory serves me, I think I was just barely under 11 seconds a few times in a 100 Yd dash, or a few hundredth over 11 seconds.

When all was said and done, chasing the girls as a teenager, barely ever opening a book after school, I had to do the summer school thing to graduate HS. I was talked to about playing college ball, but I fell through the cracks bc of my grades that no one ever pressured me to do better with except my HS BB coach that always told me that I was a h&11 of a ball player that could play college ball IF would apply myself to making better grades, that I didn't do. If I had made better grades, there was no way my mom could afford college for me, and without a full scholarship, college at that time in my life was absolutely totally out of the question.

I have thought many many times throughout my life about the what IFs, what IF I would have seriously applied myself to do what I was capable of doing with my grades in HS, and somehow went and played college BB somewhere. And what If I would have been good enough to play ML baseball for the Braves like my all time favorite 2nd baseman Glenn Hubbard. Hubbard was only 5'9" and was one of the best 2nd basemen during his pro BB career. I was 5'11", quick, and I tried to hustle harder and be just as good as he was when I was at practice and in the game!!! BC I gave up to easily on playing baseball, it was hard for me to even watch the game until about 10 years ago, and I love watching Clemson BB, and the what IF thoughts are still in my mind.

First of all, I wish that my daddy hadn't died when I was 10 bc he would have been that kick in the butt I needed when I stopped doing my best in school, if he would have lived that wouldn't ever been a problem. And if he would have lived until I was at least 25, I wouldn't be wishing that everybody could have had a do over choice to go back in life and make changes at about the age of 30 bc, that is the age when I really realized that I threw away any chances I may have had of a baseball career!!!

Simmons is the biggest risk in this draft to cry on camera
