listen buddy, I've got no problem calling you a racist if that's where your confusion lies. I think it is outrageous that you would make such a sweeping statement with no factual evidence to back up your absurd and potentially racially motivated statement. luckily medic swooped in and bailed you out with an excuse that you could use.

To be clear... I didn't bail him out by providing the link. That was his point all along - he said from the beginning he knew where they lived (post#66) - hell, it's in the freaking title of the thread. Go back and read his posts here carefully - I knew exactly what he meant by stating what he did by the way he worded it. You attempted to manufacture an issue that wasn't there - that's why I "swooped" in.

Meh... There are thousands and thousands of kids just like him and not just in football. Have you seen travel hockey and AAU baseball/basketball ? The biggest difference from times past is the plethora of camps/showcases and propensity to "brag" on social media platforms.

If he enjoys it... good for him. If he doesn't, it will sort itself out.
 
On a side-note, does ignoring a thread not make it go away completely?

Not being sarcastic. This was the first thread I've chosen to do so and it continues to taunt me.

I don't believe so... you just don't get notifications when people post in it.

Thanks, Medic. Unfortunately, I got a notification when you posted this. No worries, I hope the kid becomes a super star and plays his home games at the Rent. It's just that it feels like his "camp" has been self promoting since the kid wasn't even out of Pee Wees. Someone show me a picture of him being a regular kid and maybe it will be easier for me to buy in.

there should be a button in the upper right hand corner that says "unwatch thread" right next to where it says "ignore thread"

make sure both "ignore" and "unwatch" are selected and you won't get notifications

On desktop version if you open thread and go to upper right and click on "ignore thread" you should get pop up that gives you options on ignoring. Ignore thread on "News Feed" - "New Post" and "Thread list" - try clicking all three.

Thousands of kids attend 10 football camps? And as - what an 8th or 9th grader? I am sure thousands attend two or three camps, not sure about thousands attending 10 camps. I honestly dont know, just surprised if that is really true.

I wasn't specifically referencing the exact number of camps he posted that he plans on attending when talking about the number of kids like him nationwide... it was the Todd M comment. If it's being forced, I would readily agree that it is not a good thing (and potentially destructive), but from afar, it appears he's enjoying the game/attention.

If his family has the wherewithal to cover the fees/travel for these one day/weekend camps I guess that's their decision to make. They have obviously made a big commitment (especially w/ the USA Football piece) but in watching recruiting and seeing the number of camps kids nationwide attend now-a-days, 2-3 a summer would be the low end even @ his age/potential talent level. It's a big money maker for coaches, schools, training/performance centers and the Nike/UnderArmour/FBU/USA Football/NUC's of the world.

I know I dropped more than I care to admit traveling the Northeast for baseball showcase/tournaments from early spring to late fall for close to 10 years for a kid who (we both knew) had no high end talent but who loved the game and team camaraderie. While the $$ are out the door (and no athletic scholarship in return;)), the memories and bond we formed will last forever.

In the end, he's a local kid that has gained national notoriety and will be interesting to see what happens in a few years.

I respect your insight - but I think there is an appreciable difference between 10 camps and 3 or 4 camps and there is also a big difference between doing your thing quietly and broadcasting your decisions on social media far and wide. I hope it works out in that the kid is enjoying it and can accept whatever the outcome maybe.

I do understand your perspective but if "they" didn't broadcast far and wide, there'd be nothing to follow now-a-days :D. The recruiting sites (and coaches) pick up their leads from social media more than anywhere else besides direct 1:1 w/ coaches these days. Basketball is just as bad.

People like LaVar Ball realize how much money is to be made in entertainment. Parents over east raise their kids to aim for high end white collar professions. Daron's father will look smart if Daron succeed in life. I've actually been impressed at how much LaVar Ball cares for his family, despite how much a ego-maniacal big mouth he may be.
 
I wish the kid well but I'm calling b.s. on this "recruiting" site. I hope Brandon has a huge growth spurt while at Bloomfield High and fulfills his dream of being a D1 QB. However, things don't exactly add up with this site. Maybe my math is wrong, but #446???? 6'5, 235 Class of 2027, seriously????

Class is a typo... he's Class of 2018. Profile on multiple sites.

I hate to drag this crap up, but this is borderline Sandusky stuff. 6th graders? really? And he was so good he moved up to compete vs 8th graders? Who cares?

I know Times have changed mucho in 55 years. I remember there was a basketball publication rating incoming hs frosh around the country and my school was getting a well regarded kid. We were already a good hoops school. That kid was a very average hs player who never started. Nonsense to follow kids that age.
