August 31, 20179 yr Coach Davenport isn't for everyone. Speak to some of his formal players and you'll quickly learn. Bellarmine also just added a D1 transfer wing that has 2 years left, so Sean may have seen the writing on the wall.

September 1, 20179 yr College basketball or college sports in general isn't for everyone. Kids who are successful have to really embrace the process and understand the grind. Positives far outweigh the negatives for a scholarship athlete.
September 7, 20179 yr Have seen lots of young men just needing time away from their game, whatever it might be. Have seen it more in basketball and golf than other sports. Absence can make the heart grow fonder, especially in women and competitive sports. A pause and reboot makes lots of things work out for the better.
September 8, 20179 yr FYI....also playing in the men's league at Griffin. Good league at the top with a lot of ex-college players and good high school players.
June 14, 20188 yr Author Sean will be at Sinclair JUCO in Dayton. Did he play any organized basketball last year?
June 17, 20188 yr I can understand now the burnt out thing. All my son ever wanted was to go to college playing basketball. Last year when he graduated, be had a few options with partial scholarships for d2 and NAIA . He chose to go to William Penn University in Oskaloosa Iowa. 540 miles from home. One of the top NAIA programs in the country in basketball. He was ready to come home by Christmas break, but stuck out the year. BURNT OUT ON BBALL. He is now transferred to NKU to finish his degree. We watched him play for ten years of school ball and 7 years of AAU ball. He played against Sean McNeil many times. It's a thing you never want to hear from a kid who always wanted to play College ball; "dad I don't want to play any more". But all you can do is help them move along. I hope the best for Sean, always liked him as a player and kid Edited June 17, 20188 yr by #99 Spelling

November 20, 20187 yr Someone sent me this today: I was just Googling for info about Sinclair’s new sharp shooting freshman and came across this thread. Since I’m not in KY I wasn’t going to register for the site, but I thought some of the users might enjoy hearing that Sean is off to a great start, averaging 36 pts on 46% shooting and 45% from 3. They’ve only played 4 games, but in the last one he scored 55 in an OT loss. Sean McNeil | #11 | G | Sinclair Community College - Sinclair CC Athletics
November 20, 20187 yr Was he on scholarship at Bellarmine? A degree from there means a lot and Bellarmine is not cheap, however, if you are not happy, you have to move on.
November 23, 20187 yr McNeil is a Div 1 player. A team like NKU would be lucky to have him. All the best to him.
