Where or when do they draw the line of TOO young. We are talking about kids being stocked and paraded around like show ponies. This whole systems is out of whack you have NBA chasing high school juniors and seniors. You now have leagues paying kids right out of high school. The big shoe manufacturers paying kids to wear their shoes and go to certain colleges. All kids now have handlers to "guide them" and look after them not sure about what the difference is between handlers and agents.
I know this has been going on for years but it really seems to be getting MUCH MUCH younger now, they are more concerned with potential and upside then performance.

These guys are 14 to 15 years old 9th graders, but its the way of the world, as long as were not handing out improper benefits. Both of these guys play for Team Durrant AAU and are top 100 players. I am pretty sure that new Coach Acker has some connections with Dwayne Wise. He brought in Che' Evans from the same coach and AAU team. |

I was not just targeting these guys, I was just saying in general. The statements I placed were just that they really seem to be getting younger and younger these days. I know i sound like some out of touch old fart but DAMN these are kids. I enjoy the kids having fun but when there are so many other adults/people involved I am very suspicious. I guess it's no different then the parents in the show business/beauty pageants/girls gymnastics/Tennis/golf........ |
