For many students headed to a Division I college on an athletic scholarship, it means a few weeks off and then the start of summer school at their future institution. One of those athletes is Villanova-bound shooting guard Achraf Yacoubou of Long Island Lutheran (NY).

"I think I gotta be down there, I'm going July 1st," Yacoubou said. "I gotta be down there for second [summer] session because in New York we end school very late."

Most of the Villanova basketball players will begin summer school on June 1st, but Yacoubou does not graduate until June 11th. The 6-foot-4, 205-pounder provided his thoughts about the final weeks of high school and the start of college.

"It feels very good," Yacoubou said. I'm trying to embrace [it] because this is my last year of high school so I'm trying to embrace it a day at a time and then move on. So, I can't wait to get up there."
