11 year old dunking
 
Seventh-grader throws down thunder dunk on a fast break - Prep Rally - High School - Yahoo! Sports

What's everyone's thoughts?

I think that he's really from the Dominican Republic and he's 26 years old.

When I was on my eighth grade team, we had a player player who could dunk and another who could also dunk. Those two same players were close to dunking in the 7th grade. So this isn't so "shocking." Still mighty impressive

I don't think it has anything to do with officiating.

A post from the Eagle, nothing to do with officiating? Phshaw! Couldn't be! :rolleyes:

Perhaps in the videos there was something missed like a travel

Let me put my Nevada hat on:

Looks like we have several dunks during warm up. ;)

You missed "They should be banned for life." ;)

Was treating it like an ad-libs game or a Choose Your Own Adventure book. :D

Eagle continues to broaden his basketball horizon, and share it all with us.


Contemplating this fact makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck.

3) will somebody please force him to his right! he's 11 so he probably isn't as accomplished using if "off" hand...
4) looks like Whitney Young HS (a Chicago Public League school) will be traveling to Arkansas to hold a practice at this kids middle school. It's not because they're recruiting him...it's just an "important educational experience for the kids"...right coach? check out this weblink and you'll know what I mean: Rage over road rules :: REGIONAL SPORTS :: YourSeason
5) i wonder how much Auburn boosters will pay to have him become a Tiger in 2016? (while I don't know the exact answer, I bet if we asked Cam Newton's dad we would get a pretty good idea...)
6) the over/under on the amount of time between when the NCAA declares him ineligilbe and then declares him eligible (so he can play at Auburn) is: 1 minute.
