recruiting a 14 year old ...So what, I recruited my 4 month old niece last week. Seriously, whats the story?

Did he note the 14 year old has combine measurables of a 1st rounder?

Mark Packer on Siruis Radio had that as a topic today as well. No one is talking about the University of Washington. They offered a 14 year old who actually committed.

So it's OK for Big East Basketball (Both Men's and Women's), ACC Soccer, BIG 12 Softball, PAC 12 Baseball, etc. to offer kids this age schollys, but for a SEC Football powerhouse to do it equates to child slave labor?
FUGGEM ALL.....

If only we had waited two more weeks to offer, then he'd be a "9th grader" and we could move on.

Has anyone ever raised the possibility that ESPN hates LSU?

Fail. He starts 8th grade in August

Whoops. Sorry, never read the story. Kid must be awesome.

Mark Packer is lame. His show is dull.

Ok, here we go with the concrete evidence....I swear USC offered a 14 year old within the last 2 years, maybe QB, we shall find out. But at the time, the whole media world thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread...wow!!

yeah, it's no biggie. I'm remember a while back Dale Brown was open about starting to recruit Shaq when he was in junior high. It happens if a young kid is that much of a standout.
And I'm not sure about this, but wasn't this a kid who was participating in the recent LSU football camp? If so, and the kid was holding his own against juniors, then I can't think of any good reason Miles or whoever should not have offered the kid on the spot. He impressed the staff and this is their way of letting him know; it should motivate him to keep improving. The kid has to keep doing well for the next three years before he can even accept the offer, and if he doesn't it won't even matter. I don't see a down side for any of the parties involved.

I disagree

Did they mention where the kid goes to school and the relevance of Miles offering all things considered? I doubted, because that would entail actual journalism.

didn't tennessee do this just a few years back with kiffin? did they rant about kiffin as well?

I remember something like this too. Don't remember the specifics, but the media definitely did not think it was a bad thing.
