i would totally commit to USC at 13 if i could. that's like 5 more years of cars, houses, and gifts. it's a no brainer.
boom boom ching!!! Frank Caliendo has been busting Reggie Bush's balls all season, saying stuff like the Saints are underpaying him, he made more at USC, and things of that nature. Good thing about committing at 13 he can reap the benefits and then on National Signing Day, jump ship. Monte Kiffin is going to be dead by the time that kid gets into college, O will have died from too many triple bypasses, and Little Kiff, won't even be USC's coach when that kid hits college.
Do you also hate Miles for doing the exact same thing, except the kid was 14. http://espn.go.com/college-football...er-dylan-moses-offered-lsu-tigers-scholarship Personally, I don't see anything wrong with it. It's not a binding agreement and the kid can change his mind up until he signs. What's the big deal?
If it were my son, I wouldn't want coaches coming around and hassling him. They have no idea how to make a decision like that at that age and they should not be in the position to. At least wait til they are a Jr or Sr in high school. It's bad for the schools too because if he 'accepts' the offer, he doesn't have much motivation to improve as a football player. So many things can happen between then and college and it's just not a good trend.
The way I understand it, and I obviously could be wrong, is that there were no coaches hassling the kid. They basically scouted him and offered him a scholly. Now, I'm not saying they didn't speak to him and his parents, but that doesn't constitute hassling. As mentioned, it's not a binding agreement, on either end, I don't think, so if it doesn't work it, it doesn't work out.
no different than anything else. if the parents dont want this happening to their kid, then it wont. just another escape goat.
