In July 2005, Bill holden, then an assistant coach at Harvard University, saw Jeremy Lin, who was 6 feet 3 inches tall (1.9 1 m). His physical characteristics meet his needs, and his GPA in high school is also high.
4.2 also meets the academic standards of Harvard University. But Horton was not interested in Jeremy Lin's ability on the court at first, and told his high school basketball coach Peter pembroke that Jeremy Lin was an "NCAA first-class player".
Later that week, Horton watched Jeremy Lin's more confrontational games. He used "killer instinct" to seize every opportunity to shoot, and then Jeremy Lin became his first choice player. The coach of Harvard University was worried that Stanford University would provide a scholarship for Jeremy Lin because Stanford University was close to his home, but this didn't happen. Jeremy Lin chose Harvard University.
