More family issues

My cousin since he was little was a really good student but he was the best prospect in Puerto Rico on basketball. He went to Colegio San Jose and graduated from there, he didnt have the best grades but had A's and B's. On his senior year, colleges had already offered him scholarships to five different universities around the US. The universities included Duke, North Carolina, Syracuse, Marquette and Louisville. All the universities I just mentioned are well known in NCAA division 1 basketball and they all wanted my cousin ti play for them. On his last game as a senior in San Jose he had a devastating injury he broke his Achilles Tendon. This is one of the worst injuries a basketball player can have, this is the muscle on the back of your foot, you can't play basketball with your Achilles broken and there is no operation for this. My cousin tried to rush his return to the basketball court so he could get to were he had planned on basketball, but since he rushed his return the injury got even worse. He then had to be 1 year without playing basketball and maybe only maybe he could play basketball again. After a year he recuperated from this injury and is now playing in Marquette which is  ranked 14 in the US. His doctor said he is lucky to be able to play because not many people can over come this type of injury.
