Coming from my personal favorite periodical from the South is a story that perpetuates the growing insanity spreading throughout the sports recruiting world… the Lexington Herald-Leader, with nothing else to talk about this upcoming weekend in local sports (Derby anybody?) ran a story about UK’s head coach offering a scholarship to a 15 year old kid from California that can be seen below…
That’s unreal. The kid cannot even drive himself to practice yet but is getting top-tier D1 athletic scholarships? I wish no ill against junior jock here, but say he breaks his hip in a terrible accident involving Crocodile Mile and a group of illegal Lebanese migrant workers? Then what?
I just see no justification whatsoever in handing away a scholarship for 3 years from now to a kid that may not even be that good, let alone ever want to play basketball again. A lot of shit goes down from the ages of 15-18… McCauly Culkin got married, Michael J. Fox turned into Teen Wolf, and I discovered that pencil lead, when jabbed deep underneath the skin of your mandible, is an invigorating high. Look where I am today. Absolutely pathetic.
Somebody has got to stop this ridiculous trend. At least we know certain trends will never die…
