This is not a joke. Apparently this kid is gonna be the LeBron James of quarterbacks when he comes out of high school...

What is a joke... is offering a middle schooler.

Apparently he's being privately coached by Steve Clarkson, the same guy who privately coached Roethlisberger, Leinart, Losman, Clausen, Barkley, etc. Kid must at least be decent (or his parents are loaded or both) if Clarkson sees something in him that early.

All that said, I think it's absolutely ridiculous for anyone to be offering any kid a scholarship before high school. What an absolute joke!

I doubt this kid has learned how to even spell commitment yet, much less understand its meaning and keep it. I'd bet a lot of money that this kid waivers hard between now and LOI day 2015.

What is he doing in Delaware looking at a 7th grader? This guy continues to amaze me. It's almost just as bad that the kids parents don't have a problem with this. The kid is what, 13 years old?

[Bigducker]

Hopefully Kiffy won't even be there by then.

[thomas time]

I bet kiffin isn't there then bigducker and he will change schools.

From the article:

The 13-year-old, who attends Red Lion Christian Academy, told delawareonline.com,
"my heart was beating so fast" when he talked to Kiffin.

Just pathetic. The NCAA is watching you, Laney!

The kid already committed to USC. And to answer the question as to whether the family is wealthy or not. The kid meets with this mentor every six weeks at various places around the country. I would say it takes some money to be able to do that. Recruiting is getting out of hand to be offering 5 years early when they haven't even come to close to physically maturing yet. I am sure this is another media attention ploy for Kiffin. What a douche! This guy is a POS and deserve bad things to happen to him.

Has Kiffin broken the rule for # of contacts by a head coach yet?

Oh, wait!

My bad!

Since he only works 1 season per school, he can visit in home annually.

[oreducks77]

According to ESPN he's 6'0 already as a 13 year old, and is projected to be 6'3-6'4 range... who knows, this could end up being smart or dumb 5 years down the road. Just looking at highlight film, this kid could probably start at 50% of high school teams in Oregon at the moment, and he's in middle school... but that just might be more of an insult to Oregon High School football than it is a credit to him lol

This smells like Todd Marinovich 2.0
