Oh I don't know about that!

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?
