[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The idea that there are college scouts at any decent HS basketball game, scouting all of the kids, that is the crazy talk. I understand that recruitment has started earlier, and that seems wrong, but the idea that some random kid on a team, an 8th Grader no less, is going to get scouted at one of the games and have a key to the kingdom is just wrong and the parents are to blame for that. The Wash Post article about the 8th Grade football player was disturbing to be sure, but there is a very good Friday Night Lights episode about kids trying to hitch their wagon to the star athlete and it usually does not work. Parents need to keep these issues in perspective, and they are to blame if they fail to do so. [/quote] It's an 8 th grader playing varsity, not just any 8 th grader.[/quote]
