Recruiting 8th Graders

I guess college football recruiting just got a little crazier.  We here at the Station were amazed that the Irish and Brian Kelly had two verbal commitments for 2014.  (Check them out on the left side of the Blog)  That makes those two guys juniors in high school.  Well that’s nothing. 

Les Miles (talk about crazy) has a verbal commitment from a 7^th grader to attend LSU in five years.  Yep, we can’t make this stuff up folks.  Dylan Moses will be starting the 8^th grade in a couple of months and has verbally accepted an offer from Miles to play quarterback for the Tigers in 2017.

You think this is an isolated case?  Nope.  Tate Martell a fourteen year old quarterback wannabe will also be entering the 8^th grade and has verbally accepted an offer from Washington and Coach Sarkisian.  Seems Martell attended a quarterback camp and was ‘discovered’.  Kind of like future quarterback David Sills who in 2010 as an 8^th grader committed to USC.   Figures USC and Lane Kiffin would start something like this.  Who knows where it will end?  Maybe the NCAA?

BTW the Irish are now up to 18 Verbals for 2013.  Check out Jamel James on the left side as well.
