What if five- and four-star black basketball players attended Historically Black Colleges and Universities instead of powerhouse institutions such as Duke University, University of Kentucky, or the University of North Carolina? What Follows explores exactly that.
What Follows tells the fictional story of Chance Knight, the number one ranked high school basketball player in the nation. A tragic event influences his decision to attend an HBCU instead of a powerhouse school. A few other five- and four-star athletes choose to join him. Their journey is transformational. There is something in this story for everyone: sports, drama, action, and, yes, love.
We are living in a critical time as African Americans and need to realize the power we have as individuals and as a unified group. We have the power to control our narrative and bring money back into our communities and HBCUs. Imagine if our top athletic talent decided to attend HBCUs. Imagine the potential seismic shift of power and finances that could drastically change the college sports landscape. This is a unique story that needs to be told.
My academic, sports, and social experiences while matriculating at an HBCU are some of my most treasured and positive memories. I have tried to impart the flavor of those experiences while writing What Follows.
