Late bloomers get the shaft. He is better then most of the kids but his size right now is hurting him. And by the way the doctors said he should be 5'8" to 5'10". But might not get there till he is 17 or 18. To your giant of a kid who hasn't reached puberty. That is bull.. There were many kids that towered over me in 8th grade and stopped. And big johnnie wasn't the great athlete in high school when other kids caught up. I was talking about the recruiting process. In regards to the kid who grows a little later and misses out on those top tier schools because they like that early bloomer. Oh by the way look at pannell. Late bloomer and now one of the best.
