Didn't want it to get lost in the giant NSD thread.
One interesting part:
quote:
Lawson hates attention.
It physically makes his stomach turn in knots.
“I’m just not built for the whole ‘lights and camera’ type of stuff,” Lawson says. “Some guys like that stuff. That’s crazy to me. I handle it, but I don’t like it.”
He points at his red- and blue-striped tie, stares blankly, as if to say “C’mon man,” and adds, “See this … Isn’t me.”
And then there's this
quote:
“Yeah get them their fax,” Lawson says with a laugh. “They’re going crazy.”
Lawson goes to loosen up his tie, but then it dawns on him that he’s got to do this all over again live on ESPNU in just 40 minutes.
“Well, what am I gonna sign?” Lawson asks.
“Most kids just sign a blank sheet of paper,” DeCristofaro says.

ETA: Was good article. Everything you read about him just make you that much more convinced he is a special talent when you take the total package including work ethic / desire and grounded personality.

quote:
“Whew!” Lawson says. “All of this is finally over.”
Minutes pass and it’s clear a shade of unrest has clouded Lawson’s otherwise jovial mood.
He pauses suddenly. There’s something he wants to say. Something he wants people to know.
Then right in the midst of his obvious internal debate, Lawson lets it out.
“Ya know, it is over, but really it’s just a new type of stress,” Lawson says. “I’m competing against the best of the best now for college and the only way to succeed is to outwork the next man.”
This was my favorite part
