Congrats to Ryan. Hope he keeps up with his med school studies so he has a career after basketball, if he needs it.

Very cool news. Congrats to one of the finest to come out of our area.

Kobeyashi....did he graduate? I'm glad he is playing professionally. His game (at least in high school) seemed to be "European." You know....the post player who has a perimeter game. He obviously is a very good player.

Yes, he graduated this past year from Lafeyette University, and I totally agree his game will translate real well in Europe.

I'm glad to hear he graduated. I don't know him, but I was pretty sure that he was a smart kid....given by where he attended college. Before he started college, I was told he was going to become a doctor....and someone mentioned that on this thread. Surely he didn't graduate medical school already, did he? I don't blame him AT ALL for playing professionally. He can earn a living and always go to med school later.

Smart for sure. He was the Patriot League's Basketball Scholar Athlete of the year for 2011-2012. That's a high honor regardless of conference, but it's extra special in the Patriot League.
