UK & an 8th Grader

by Bret Sims 5/5/2008 3:21:00 PM

Youth sports are already being ruined by parents who believe their son or daughter is bound for professional sports at a young age and it is negatively impacting sports.

Coaches are all wrapped up in select or AAU players that they pick kids earlier and earlier because they think a kid has talent.

Real talent doesn't start showing up before the age of 13.

Now UK's basketball coach Billy Gillispie offers Michael Avery, an 8th grader, a scholarship for the 2012-2013 season.

Let kids be kids. 

This is ridiculous.

Did Billy Gillespie hire Michael Jackson as a recruiter or something? Jacko comes in to their house and discusses playing at UK over milk and cookies and a bedtime story.
