Rocking the Cradle

Kentucky has offered a basketball scholarship to a 15 year old. This is getting bad. Is the money in the game forcing coaches to stoop to the level of 8th and 9th graders?

The NCAA has a variety of rules about when kids can be contacted, but a coach can still offer a kid in junior high? Forget about rules about calling or texting players and all that, at least make the coaches back off until the kid gets a learner's permit.

Yes, I missed that thread on the eighth grader.

Moderators please feel free to merge this thread that was on both the eighth grader and the 15 year old ninth grader.

I never said the two threads were on the same thing. Just saying that UK offering a 15 year old was nothing compared to the 8th grader they just offered.

You may not have been saying it, but I am. They should be merged in my mind.
