Good thing you weren’t very athletic.My first thought was why not UConn as a walk on .
But when you think about it would you want to be a walk on at a school your dad is a legend and reminder’s of him are all around and comparison is unavoidable. I would’ve picked a different sport totally..
Coach Hurley knows all about the pressures of living up to the family name in his playing career.My first thought was why not UConn as a walk on .

We’re talking about real basketball, not nba jam for PS2. I’m sure most of you are video games legends in your own minds but I prefer to break ankles on the hard top. No blood no foul, no pain no gain. Words to live by.I bet Ray can make some connections.
I feel for the kid, my sons have the same issue of trying to live up to a sharpshooting legend. Your Rays, your Bronnys, your Jeffrey’s, and mine.
Don't think Ray needed the helpGuessing DH made a phone call for Ray.. Building bridges..
Perhaps you're right.. Was thinking Ray 3 could have used the bump from DH..Don't think Ray needed the help

He undoubted has connections that he can use for his kid. Dan Hurley is one of them.Don't think Ray needed the help
Enormously tough, unless you were someone only interested in getting an education, while being part of a team, regardless of your role or amount of playing time.It would be tough on a kid trying to play with your dad’s HOF banner hanging above you.
Things seem to be working out just fine between Andrew and Dan and Andrew’s position at UConn.Enormously tough, unless you were someone only interested in getting an education, while being part of a team, regardless of your role or amount of playing time.
Not many people are like that, especially when they're 17 or 18.
He'll probably still hear comments about why he's not his Dad or why this or that, especially in this social media world of today. The best thing Ray could do (or maybe has already done) is reach out to others like Magic and MJ and ask how they prepared their kids for the inevitable comparisons.

How someone adjusts depends on the nature of the child and how the famous parents parent that child.
Hopefully Ray Allen III is well adjusted and has a fulfilling experience at Rhode Island.
