INDIANAPOLIS -- Julian Vaughn stands 6-foot-8, boasts a high GPA and is ready to enter one of America's most prestigious basketball factories -- Virginia's Oak Hill Academy.
Nobody, not even the NCAA, can convince Vaughn he's making a mistake.
Two days after Oak Hill was placed on the list of 22 schools which will have its academic standards under review by the NCAA, Vaughn still intends to enroll there this fall.
"Even if it was on the list of offenders, I'd still want to go," he said. "I have a 3.7 GPA, so I'm really just going there to get my last few credits."
