Ty Xanders has become a comedy within a bad joke. "Can't talk about 2018 commits, but we have one. Can't make it public, but I can make comments that imply who the kid is." This kid is 13 years old. It didn't wind up on Twitter without the club / prep school coach crazies putting it out there. Sounds like Petro for once may have tried to save some dignity to at least wait until this kid took his first pee in the high school locker room, but no. My kid committed to an Ivy two months ago. I give my son a lot of credit. When IL's little Twitter [lacrosse] asked around about him, his HS and club coaches both respected our privacy. Nobody knew then, nobody will know for 2 more years. Why make a public spectacle of your kid at the age of 13, 14, 15, 16?
I agree about not making a public spectacle. However, I think you're a little envious of the attention. If your 2018 committed to an Ivy two months ago, God Bless. Why all the anger? Let it go... Sounds like you're upset that you're son didn't get the press, you didn't want him to get in the first place??? Odd.
I doubt there are 2018 Ivy verbals before the kids have even started high school. This is a 2017 thread so must be a 2017 kid if an Ivy. I don't see why this point would get you sore. Bottom line is the NCAA sport is way out of whack when coaches are extrapolating what 8th graders will be in college. I agree, good for the kids and families to get a college education. Bad for these NCAA early recruiting programs. No lemon law in sports.
