That kid should be forced to play Varsity. He's going to kill one of those 90 pound kids.

Offering an eight grader is disgraceful. Let him be a kid.

LSU offering the same kid as a 7th is worse than Bama offering him a year later...

If he reads at grade level, he will be ready for his University of Alabackwards education.

Indiana offered an eighth grader in basketball once. If I remember correctly, he turned out to be a very average college college player.

Our basketball team is looking at 8th and 9th graders. He can still be a kid and have an offer. I think Nick Saban knows a lot more about recruiting than we do.

Does he know as much as JJ does?

Probably not.

I watched the tape of the kid and I have to say that I don't get it. I just see a kid who is bigger and marginally faster than the rest of the players in the 8th grade league he plays in. Now, he might be a fantastic player by the time he's a senior in high school, or this may be a case where the kid just physically matured early and everyone is about to catch up. When I was in 7th grade (if I remember correctly - given the ancient history that this is), I played a game against a team that had an offensive lineman who was 6'2", 245 lbs. I lined up opposite him (played DL) and got flattened basically every play. That guy didn't go on to play college football or even star in high school, because everyone else eventually caught up to him in size and strength.

I guess that Saban doesn't really worry about that, though, since he can just pull the offer if that happens.
