2020's really aren't "8th graders" any longer and recruiting for the best of the best 2020's is in full swing like it or not. The U S Naval academy is a great place . Personally I think its a great thing. And the old argument how does a 14 year old know what they want to do just dosen't fly, because the answer is they usually don't, but in reality there are more than plenty of college sophomores, juniors and grads that really don't know either.


The real answer is that he probably isn't 14! Especially if he is from Maryland or Mass. There is a hold back epidemic. Go look at the ages of the kids from the under Armour compared to the NY kids. It is a year across the board. Good luck to these coaches who think that the best kids who are a year or two older in 9th and 10th grade, are still going to be the best kids when they get to college. Half these kids didn't hit puberty yet. This might be the best thing for the non traditional power house teams. There will be a lot more kids fall through the cracks and a lot more disappointed coaches in the ACC and Big 10!


He's from Long Island and will be starting at Chaminade in the spring.


Ooops, meant to say "in the fall."

And starting Freshman... Starting Chaminade as you put it was open ended. More like Freshman
