For Beasley, It's a Jumping Point
Gaithersburg Native 'Just Killing Time' as He Prepares for Eventual Leap to NBA
By Eli Saslow
Washington Post Staff Writer
Monday, March 12, 2007; Page E01
FITCHBURG, Mass. -- Michael Beasley waits for his NBA fortune in a drafty room on the third floor of a crumbling house. He sleeps on a battered mattress with no sheets. The smell of sewage wafts from a communal bathroom down the hall. Cold air leaks through cracks in the walls and windows, so Beasley warms his room by keeping an open toaster oven turned to 450 degrees at the foot of his bed.
How one of the country's best high school basketball players ended up spending his senior season here at Notre Dame Prep, in a small city 50 miles west of Boston, confounds even Beasley. His high school career -- a six-school, five-state odyssey -- stopped making sense long ago, he said. "I just go from one place to the next," said Beasley, who is from Gaithersburg. "I hardly even think about it."
Since he entered the eighth grade, Beasley's career has followed the same cyclical pattern: He's dismissed from one school for misbehavior and immaturity; then he's wooed to another school for the smooth left-handed jumper and forceful first step that make him a projected lottery pick in a future NBA draft.
At Notre Dame Prep, Beasley treats high school less like a destination than an obstacle he must bypass in order to reach the NBA. He counts down the days until he leaves for his freshman year at Kansas State, until he turns 19 next January and finally becomes eligible for the NBA draft.
"I'm just killing time here," said Beasley, who averages 28 points and 16 rebounds from the forward position. "Sometimes it seems like high school lasts forever."
Beasley had never seen Notre Dame Prep before he arrived at the school in early September. Based simply on the school's name and basketball reputation, he expected a stately campus with rolling green hills and striking dormitories. When he arrived at the actual campus, he briefly considered turning around and going back to the airport.
Notre Dame Prep opened in 1952, and its three-story school building has steadily deteriorated since. The front door is broken, so students come and go through a screechy side entrance. The nationally ranked boys' and girls' basketball teams play on a court with chipped blue paint and rounded backboards. Two nights each week, the court doubles as a venue for the town bingo game. Notre Dame Prep stopped resurfacing its basketball court almost a decade ago because elderly bingo players complained about the potential for slipping on a waxed floor.
As part of the financial aid package that pays most of his $17,000 tuition, Beasley helps set up and remove the bingo tables two nights each week. He has only two other responsibilities at Notre Dame: to help the basketball team retain its status as the best prep program in the country; and to attain the grades and SAT score necessary for college eligibility.
Practice becomes a centerpiece of the Notre Dame schedule, because half of the school's 60 students are basketball players recruited from out of state. Ten foreign exchange students from South Korea and a handful of locals make up the rest of the student population. Beasley practices for two hours in the afternoon, takes a nap and then practices again at night. "The basketball team is pretty much the only thing this school's got," Beasley said.
Beasley remains confident that he will gain NCAA eligibility despite his nontraditional high school education. He needs to score at least a 920 on the SAT later this year, he said. His grades at Notre Dame are mostly Bs and Cs. His favorite class is English -- taught by Bill Barton, the basketball coach.
During the summer, as part of its probe into prep schools with questionable academic practices, the NCAA sent an investigator to Notre Dame Prep and about 20 other nontraditional private schools, said NCAA Vice President Kevin Lennon. The investigator showed up unannounced, Barton said, and spent a full day observing classes at the school.
"With Notre Dame Prep, we were sufficiently satisfied that it was a high school where learning was going on," Lennon said. "We saw teachers. We saw a curriculum. We saw the things you'd want to see at a high school."
At various points in his career, Beasley planned to spend his senior season at five schools in four other states. He split the 2002-03 season between National Christian Academy in Fort Washington and Laurinburg (N.C.) Institute. He played a season at IMG Academies in Florida; then, the next year, an amateur basketball coach in Upper Marlboro home-schooled Beasley while he played basketball for Riverdale Baptist.
Last season, Beasley thought he'd found a perfect fit at Oak Hill Academy in Mouth of Wilson, Va. He improved his academic transcript with solid grades, coaches said, and he averaged 21 points and 12 rebounds for a nationally ranked basketball team. Then, in August, coaches at Oak Hill gave Beasley the same bad news he'd heard a few times before: The school had decided not to invite him back.
Beasley said nobody gave him an exact reason for his dismissal, but he guesses that Oak Hill grew tired of his pranks. He wore pajamas to the school cafeteria. He threw sticks at teachers' houses. He snuck out of his dorm after curfew and organized games of hide-and-go seek.
"Me and Tywon Lawson had a competition at the beginning of the school year about who could sign their autograph the most around the school," Beasley said, referring to a teammate who now stars at North Carolina. "And I don't lose at anything, man, so I walked around with one of those Sharpies and signed graffiti everywhere. Every day, they were cleaning my name off water fountains, ceilings, desks, offices -- whatever. I just thought it was funny."
Oak Hill Coach Steve Smith blamed Beasley's poor behavior on simple immaturity. "He's really a good-hearted kid," Smith said. So, with two weeks left in the school year, Smith offered his star player one final chance: He told Beasley that, to be invited back to Oak Hill, he needed to impress administrators with flawless end-of-year behavior.
Two days later, Beasley signed his name in black ink on the principal's truck, Smith said.
"He'll definitely try your patience," Smith said. "You look at him physically and he's a full-grown man, and you think he's going to make good decisions all the time. But a lot of times, he just didn't."
At a practice here in Fitchburg last month, Barton gathered his players to give them a scouting report on an upcoming opponent. In less than 24 hours, the team played one of its most important games of the season. Barton stood still, with a basketball under his right arm, and talked quietly. "Pay attention, 'cause this is important," Barton said. His players leaned in to listen. Then Beasley started shouting.
"Hey coach, pass the ball!" Beasley yelled. "Come on, coach. You're being a ball hog, yo. Pass it. I'm open."
Teammates laughed, and Barton shook his head. Over the last six months, Barton had decided mainly to ignore Beasley's childishness. He finished his scouting report and divided his players into two teams for a shirts-against-skins scrimmage. As Beasley pulled off his cotton T-shirt to play for the skins, he danced across the court.
"I'm naked! I'm naked!" Beasley yelled. "Look, coach. I'm naked!"
Beasley said he's made sincere attempts at maturation since he arrived at Notre Dame. With his NBA future looming, he's tried to think of basketball as business. He learned to shake hands with opposing coaches this season, he said, instead of slapping careless high-fives. He shaves and cuts his hair every few days to look clean. When Beasley bought five new tattoos last month to celebrate his 18th birthday, he made sure none of the tattoos -- four names on his wrists and "FAMILY FIRST" across his collarbone -- would show when he wore a suit.
"People are starting to treat me like a professional because of how I play," Beasley said. "So now I'm trying to act like one."
In his Fitchburg bedroom, Beasley keeps 140 shoe boxes from Nike, Reebok and Adidas. He requested a full room in Fitchburg to store shoes, but Notre Dame Prep said it couldn't find the extra space. Each sneaker company sends Beasley a few pairs each week, he said, because they recognize his potential as a future endorser.
At 6 feet 9 inches, Beasley dribbles well enough to run the fast break. He prefers to play underneath the basket, but his soft left-handed jump shot remains reliable even from three-point range. He anchors the defense for Notre Dame, a team that has lost only two games this season.
Beasley believes he could play even better under improved conditions. Notre Dame travels by car to tournaments almost every weekend across the East Coast. Beasley has stopped lifting weights because he's worried about catching a cold in the school gym, a poorly heated third-floor classroom.
In his spare time at Notre Dame, Beasley tries to pretend he's somewhere else. He puts a sign on the door of his room that reads, in red block letters, STUDIO, DON'T DISTURB. Then he attaches a microphone to his computer and raps, recording his own songs. His room looks over Fitchburg's modest downtown, and Beasley likes to stay awake until 4 a.m. and stare at the city lights.
"It's comforting," Beasley said. "I can kind of pretend I'm just hanging around D.C., looking out at home."

beasley sounds kind of annoying.

beasley sounds kind of annoying.
Yeah, I think this is kind of what J-Mart was alluding to here:
The problem with Tyree is, all of his problems have been publicized. We all assume kids like Bill Walker and Mike Beasley - kids I like, by the way - are "good kids" because they're well-spoken and pleasant to the media. Dig a little, folks. Everything isn't always what it seems. No one is the angel they're sometimes portrayed to be.
Like I said, I think a year (or two) with Huggins will do him some good.
-
That's just teenager stuff. No biggie.
-
The Hawks will love that one. They're going to be calling Beasley the next Micah.
-

LOL. Micah doesn't exist to them.
Another thought: The new NBA rule is perfect for guys like Beaz. He'll do a lot of growing up in a year.
-
Yeah, it can be a great thing for these guys if they use it well. It should be good for Beasley to spend a year with Huggins.
-
That's just teenager stuff. No biggie.
Its bigger than that. That kid suffers from problems that are brought on by a dismal socio-economic status in life and the reality that the only reason people "want" him is because he can play ball. It sucks but its life. In my opinion it will take a team effort to keep this kid from self-destructing before he leaves Manhattan, players like Walker will be instrumental in helping him to grasp the concept, "don't pull that sh*t here". At the same time, Huggins isn't an idiot... he'll see the need to help Beasley prepare for life as much as a career in the NBA. Whether he'll be fine or not remains to be seen but the responsibility of assimilation to the "real world" will fall squarely on his shoulders.
-
Kinda sounds like marques hayden.
-
The new NBA rule is perfect for guys like Beaz.
The rule is good for a kid like Beasley but look at Oden. He may die of old age before he sniffs the NBA next year...
And Beasley sounds like a kid just trying to be a kid but has maybe had to grow up too fast and resents that. I did a lot of stupid stuff like that as a kid and now look back and can't really explain why I did those things. I'm sure the same will happen for Beasley some day. Huggs will indeed be good for hum though...

Well, yeah. You earn pesos.

euros. just not many of them.

Well, he still has to qualify. And since he wants to attend "Kansas State", those words will always bring these words: "curse" and "bad luck"...
-
If simple stupid things like autographing and streaking are his biggest problems, then he's a well behaved kid compared to some things my friends and I did when we were in high school.
LOL @ him signing the Principal's truck with sharpe. I wish I had the stones to do that when I was in school.

MICHAEL TURN OFF THE TOASTER OVEN
Just last week like 6 people died in a fire started by one in New York
we need you for next year!

Huggins is just the man for this job. He will bring focus and disipline to this young mans life. You think Beasley is good now. Just wait. We haven't seen anything yet. This is what Huggins does. Look at Wooleys KSU vs Huggins KSU.
Huggins has caught a lot of crap by the media. Most is unwarranted. Huggins knows what these type of kids are in for and he is committed to making them successful young men in the game of life.
Here's to you Huggs! :beerchug: :beerchug:

yeah, if beasley doesn't come in with the right attitude, darren kent is going to steal those minutes.
:alleyoop:
-
Most NBA have been burnt by fringe guys, and they're not going to waste a draft pick on a guy coming out early unless he has proven he can flat out ball like . . . Kevin Durant.
Beasley isn't Greg Oden, he's not Kevin Durant, and he's certainly not Lebron James . . . he needs to settle down and give a couple of years at least IMO.
-
Durant wasn't Durant before college. And Beasley isn't like Oden only because he's not a hard to come by center. I don't think the NBA scouts have rated too many high school prospects as highly as they rate Beasley.
-
Love the pranks Mike. Keep it up.
-
Beasley is going to be fine. Maybe he'll revive the graffiti "Lake is a Tool" all over campus.

Saul's post on phog is gold.
The kid is hilarious.
I went to his game at Bramlage a few weekends ago, and during the national anthem he had his hand over his heart, and his head was waving side to side while he sung along with the song. Gold.
During warmups, he watched the opposing team do their drills, grinned and chuckled to himself and waved them off like they were foolish, and then drained a shot from half court like it was nothing. He then looked back at the other team and was like "What now?"
He gives entertaining press conference snippits as well. "WERE DA LADIES AT?"
I was unaware of the first part, and never heard any details about the second part. There's a reason why he was named "best interviewer" by rivals. He is going to beat out "it's not like Dylan Meier is dead or anything".

Hi Mombeasy!
:love:
What's your opinion of the article?
-
1st- ksuno1stunner, Michael DID NOT say 4 wiggers...What he did say is 4 Wizards ( as in Washington Wizards) to prove it...they mentioned some of the wizards players in the next pay of the video. He was also seen talking to Gilbert Arenas on the sidelines. Trust me, I did not raise him to be disrespectful and he wouldn't use that kind of language.
2nd- I know that he can be a little mischievious BUT he's really a good kid at heart. He goofs off a little too much sometimes but it's all in fun (must of the time). Trust me he does get disciplined for the pranks that he pulls and he has learned from the majority of the stuff that he has done. And don't think that we haven't had our fair share of "Lil Mike's Pranks" at home...But most of the time he knows where to draw the line.
What can I say...He's just a big kid...
I do sincerely apologize if his behavior is offensive from the bottom of my heart. :-[
-
No way. Not offensive at all.

Haha, that makes sense now. I didn't think he would say something like that, especially in an interview, and didn't make sense at all with everything else. That's pretty sweet that he plays with the Wizards.
And it was not offensive at all. Nothing the article mentions was bad at all, I thought the autograph prank was hilarious. I was disappointed with the writer though, he tried to turn every prank into an arrest or something. Probably jealousy.
-
What's with the photo caption?
He plans to play at Kansas State -- for one season.
-
ksuno1...If you think that's funny make sure you show him your car...I'd kick his "hine pots" if he did it to me...
KSU will love him on AND off the court...That you can count on!
If he looks like he's stepping out of line just mention my name and he'll staighten up, you can bank on that!
-
Actually, Stunner would probably love his car to be autographed by Mike. :P

Did anyone else find the article kind of sad in ways?
It's hard to feel sorry for a future NBA lottery pick but in some ways I left the article feeling sad for Mike, not sorry, but sad. I guess it's just a reminder of the darker side of being one of the nation's top basketball recruits and the politics inside of it all.
-
To me the article had no REAL point exept to say that 'Lil Mike can be a major knuckle head at times...I think it was pretty harmless for the most part. The school is not as depressing as it appears. Yeah, he doesn't like the cafeteria food but that's why the oven was purchased and then of course he calls home for me to make a weekly pizza/BBQ wings purchase from local deli which delivers. (what can I say, He's my baby).
I've been assured that he's in the best hands with Huggs and I'll just kick my feet up and leave the disciplining up to him NOW! ;)

Haha, good call mombeasy.
I'm sure he'll behave for dalonte too.
So Mike likes wings? Do they have buffalo wild wings in Washington? If not and Mike discovers it in Manhattan, I think he may fall in love and never leave aggieville. Best wings anywhere. :lick:

I guess I agree that I'm having a hard time understanding where the author was going with the article too. Not a big deal though, anyone with half a brain can see he's a good kid who likes to have some innocent fun and what kid doesn't?

-
Pissclaims,
Get a kleenex and dry your eyes...Michael's just fine. And this is the truth, Michael has never sounded more peaceful and satisfied than he has at any school he's been to. And I believe one of the only complaints of this year was his OVEN being taken away. So don't feel sorry for "Lil Mike, he's in truly great spirits.

Sounds like harsh punishment for the 'innocent and good-natured' kid.
And screw Pizza Shuttle. If you want cheap pizza than go pick up 3 or 4 totinos and throw them in the oven.

You took my comment completely out of context. All I was trying to point out was that when ku signs guys like Brandon Rush (tattoos, prep school, etc) he is automatically labeled a thug by the majority of K-State fans. If Beasley were a ku recruit, make no mistake, K-State fans would be saying the exact same things about him, if not worse.

No apologies needed. He's not doing anything different than the majority of us did in high school. The only difference is that none of us were under a microscope 24/7.

Rush is a total KthUg. (Different from a thug.)

I was expecting to read that he knifed a bitch in that article. That is extremely mild compared to what controversial recruits do. This isn't even close to Tyree Evans and I don't think recruiting Tyree is bad. He doesn't have a criminal record, I don't think that there is anything to worry about.
