I would add that the colleges that he is looking at are either a community college for welding or an average state school for something with robotics(which he is already qualified for via ACT score and GPA). Looking at the list I made, I see that the reason he would stay in basketball is more for others than for himself(pleasing his father and girlfriend).

I totally agree that it is his decision and I think he won't go wrong either way he goes, but I just wanted to make sure I informed him of what all robotics can do for him so he has a better picture. I think he has a chance to form a legacy in the robotics team as we, Team 4480, have never won an award or a blue banner. People likely won't remember him on the basketball team two years from now, but they may remember him from that blue banner/award hanging in the showcase(IF we get one of course).
