Re: OT: 5th Grader Starting PG for a FL high school
Florida being Florida, allowing a fifth grader to play against high schoolers. I can understand if they give someone a waiver to play a grade up, but essentially four grades up? And the comments from his father (who, SHOCKER, is the coach of this weird quasi-private school team) and the comments on that article are insane. Even if the kid is dominating middle school competition, there are still plenty of things to teach him without exposing him to high school-level competition.

While impressive and all, I am pretty sure the competition he was playing against would get run out of the gym at any pick up game at my local YMCA on a Saturday morning.

If I had played against someone that size I would have just stepped on him, sorry . He looks like he is playing against a special needs team, or whatever the correct lingo is these days.

I just read he got a $400 mountain bike and a brand new Xbox, so I'm sure Calipari has.Rhody74 wrote:Have we offered yet?

I mean the kids good but he must weigh 80 lbs...I would back him down every time and he should be getting swatted at least 5 times a game
