Plenty of mistakes are made in The Locker Room.
But the response made recently about former Niles West High hoops star Nik Garcia cannot go without comment.
Nik Garcia, one of the top prep basketball players in the state, is about to finish his junior year at Niles West High. He has ALREADY announced that he is transferring from Niles West because the hoops program is, in his words, "a shambles." That makes him a soon-to-be FORMER Niles West High hoops star.
The hope here is that he works his way up the shoreline and lands at Waukegan High. We can use him!
Jeff,
The transfer has not taken place yet, so "former" can not yet be applied. Intentions are changed frequently, and that might yet be the case here.
Please use one of your "soon-to-be-former" verbiage, and that will clarify things for the reader. Also, please proofread - my daughter has better grammar.
