Did you see this weeks Sports Illustrated?
It has a kid in there that some scouts have been looking at since he was 9 yrs old!
He's 14 now and an eighth grader...6'3" and dunking the basketball with ease...his AAU team hasn't lost in many years.
His name is Demetrius Walker.
They are projecting him to be in the NBA at 18...if he doesn't make the NBA and JUST gets a full ride to a D-1 school...some will be DISAPPOINTED.
Hmmmmmm, quite a bit of pressure on the kid, don't you think?

I don't mean to brag - OK, I do - but my grandson Tyler is 10 years old and is 5'2". He plays on a fifth grade team and is averaging over 20 points a game after his first four games. He's had two double-doubles. Fortunately, my daughter and her husband both have their heads screwed on straight about it. My son-in-law is 6'6" and played D-I ball, so he knows how it works.

Cool!
Maybe Grandpa won't have to fork over any college money!
