I hate to hear that. I think they need more time mature before they're handed
all that money and temptation.
Just the MOM comin' out... ;-)

My question is - how early will the NCAA let a college take a kid out of high
school?
Football players today can come in after 3.5 years of high school. Has any
football player come into any college after 3 years of high school? I think I
heard that basketball players are trying to skip their entire senior year at
high school.

Um... not if he's going to high school for 4 years. If he's already 15
going into the 9th grade, he'll be 16 or nearly 16 by the time he finishes 9th
grade. That means he won't graduate until he's 19 or very nearly 19. The
"normal" age for 9th grade is 14, although some kids do turn 15 during the
school year... just not *before* the school year starts... usually.
I wonder if he failed a grade or if his family started him in kindergarten
a year later than he could have legally started. I know there has been a trend
in the past 20 years or so to start kids, especially boys, a year later than
they could legally start kindergarten so that they'll have a year more of
physical maturity when they play sports later. It's even been called
"red-shirting".
I thought of that after I made the comment below. I shouldn't make any
assumptions about his academic talents.

He would be graduating high school at 18. That's normal

Cee, who should probably hit 'delete' now...

I’m sure the NCAA wouldn’t mind, because we all know how flexible
they are! ;-) Seriously, however good Taylor is in 8th grade, I don’t think
you’re doing him or us a favor to try to rush him to college just because we’re
in a hurry to see him play. 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.

My daughter started college in the fall of her junior year and went
full time her senior 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?

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?
