That is a cruel fate for Austin that I wouldn't wish on anyone. To be blind in one eye is one thing but to find out you suffer from Marfan syndrome is the ultimate blow and I know that young man is crushed right now. The only good thing is that he did declare for the NBA and they found out about it when they did. He could have stayed in college and ended up dying with this syndrome being undiagnosed all this time.
Damn, I feel sorry for Isiah Austin

Baylor needs to do the right thing and offer him a coaching job.

Reading Baylor's statement, it appears they will
I hope so, keep this kid around the game and his spirits high. Maybe an NBA team will draft him in the late second just so he can appear on an NBA roster too.
thank god he didn't go to carolina. nikka would be raking leaves for a living with that basket weaving degree
Sucks for him but luckily they found it.
not really sure what this means:jrdncac:,
but that's none of my business tho
Man WTF. Yall too wild with the smilies.
I kind of hope some team drafts him in the second round, just as a gesture.

That's too bad. Also the fact he'll be reminded of it almost every day of his life with dumb ass people asking him of he plays basketball everywhere he goes.

Wow this is sad. I seen an article just the other day talking about how close he was to achieving his dreams after all that he's been through. And now this happens 
Less than a week b4 the draft doctors told him his basketball days are over
He seems like he is intelligent, so i hope he finds another passion.
Do you ppl see why education is important, now?
He was already blind in one eye, im sure he took education seriously.
Most 2nd rounders dont do shyt anyway...he was a projected 2nd rounder, I'm sure he'll get picked up.
