About this title: High school senior Lonnie Jackson sees his basketball scholarship as a golden opportunity to escape his poor neighborhood in Harlem. But college turns out to be much more difficult than he anticipates. The classes are tough, and the pressure of playing high-stakes basketball is compounded by a local gambler who wants Lonnie to fix games for him. When Lonnie meets Sherry Jewett, a determined, independent college track star, he is inspired to dig deep inside himself for the inner strength to do the right thing.

"In this sequel to Hoops, the protagonist goes to a prestigious Indiana college on basketball scholarship. His growth continues as he confronts conflicts with teammates, a challenging academic schedule he cannot handle, real effort to make the team and get along with the coach enough to play, and a moral conflict when an outside business owner tries to get him involved in the businessman's group betting on point spreads in the games. The only questionable parts in the novel come with the protagonist's girlfriend, who teaches him about independent women, scorning his assumptions that she is his for the taking. The novel skillfully skirts questions of physical relationships with or without love and respect. The novel is positive, with positive choices and consequences and hope for the protagonist at the end."
"The Outside Shot is the most positive book Ive ever read because the book is about a harlem guy is tryin to turn his life around from being a struggle into a huddle"
