Rob,
Here is a counter argument: Early admission would give the player one or two more years of the college weight training and coaching. Because of their age, they would have to remain in college longer before they could move on to the NFL. The big negative would be their socialization. Here would be a great reason to bring back athletic dorms.

Four more years of coaching and physical development will all be positive for him and just think how good he’ll be when he’s actually ready for his freshman year.

With careful planning, it is possible for a kid to complete his/her requirements by the beginning of their junior year. I have raised this question before on another forum, “Would the NCAA allow a student to play in college if they have met the core requirements but not yet graduated from high school? Also, many high schools will allow college classes to double for high school graduation requirements (as my daughter did—she graduated high school at the beginning of her sophomore year in college). Would the NCAA allow a student to go to college without their core credits completed and practice (train) but not play until the requirements are met? jerry From: Gatortalk@googlegroups.com [mailto:gatort...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of ke...@baldwinnc.com Sent: Sunday, August 02, 2009 7:45 AM To: gatortalk googlegroups Subject: [gatortalk] RE: [gatornews] [SUN]: RB Taylor's moves remind many of his dad Not sure what to make of this kid. Maybe next year will give us a true indication of what his stats are. I assume that kids have to go to high school for 3 and 1/2 years before they can go to college? -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [gatornews] [SUN]: RB Taylor's moves remind many of his dad From: "Shane Ford" <goufgat...@bellsouth.net> Date: Sat, August 01, 2009 9:49 pm To: "GATORNEWS" <gatorn...@googlegroups.com> RB Taylor’s moves remind many of his dad --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
