He's already over qualified academically.That's a huge 8th grader.
This is just wrong. What happens when he gets injured for the first time in high school, something minor and it's taking the kid awhile to recover. His father sees the scholarship slipping away from him and gets him on HGH to recover further. In addition, when the rest of the kids catch up to him and he no longer dominates like he does now, HGH will be there to give him the perceived 'edge.' Offering scholarships this early is not only just stupid, but will end up hurting these kids in the long run.

So does that absolve Alabama? It only make Les Miles as culpable, as well as Mark Emmert and the rest fo the Powers-that-Be at the NCAA. This is the definition of lack of institutional control.In case you think Alabama was in the wrong, keep in mind that LSU offered him when he was in 7th grade.

It doesn't absolve LSU, USC or any other schools either. I know it is only an offer and no commitment is binding until early February of the Kid's Senior year, but this does not help the kid in any way, shape, or form, and isn't that what the NCAA is "supposed to be" about? An "advocate" for the student-athlete?This isn't the first time a 7th grader has been offered a scholarship to play at a high level D1 school. USC offered Dhameer's high school QB as a 7th grader. It won't be the last time it happens either.
How would it be any different if the kid had not been offered a scholarship? If the dad is a and is pinning his hopes on the kid he will get him the HGH to GET him a scholly not just to keep one.This is just wrong.
