Ricardo Ledo has decided to not attend the NBA Top 100 at the University of Virginia this week, and it isn’t because of injury.

Ledo is working on his grades.

Many of the nation’s elite seniors in the high school class of 2012 are assembled at the University of Virginia this week, trading jump shots in a camp run by the NBA Players Association. Providence’s Ricky Ledo is back in Fitchburg, Mass., finishing his course work.
“He’s taking his final exams. He had some work he needed to get done and that’s a little more important,” said Ryan Hurd, Ledo’s coach at Notre Dame Prep in Fitchburg. “Besides, he’s already a top-five guard. Does he need to go there and prove he’s a real top-five guard?”
That academic/athletic struggle has hovered over Ledo’s name for most of the last two years. Ever since he embraced his first piece of stardom in Rhode Island at the 2009 state championship game for Bishop Hendricken, basketball people have marveled at Ledo’s ability. The quickness, length, speed, jumping ability and shooting range combine to make the 6-foot-5 inch guard perhaps the most talented schoolboy to ever play in Rhode Island.

In my opinion, Kentucky either gets Ledo or Archie Goodwin…and my money is on Goodwin.
