The trend to recruit kids earlier and earlier is getting out of hand. We all remember the case of when USC coach, Lane Kiffin, offered a scholarship to 13 year old 7th grader, David Sills. Auburn is jumping on the early offer band wagon, not quite as drastically but jumping on none-the-less . Aubrun has offered a scholarship to sophomore defensive lineman, Kenny Bigelow Al.com. The reason coaches are going after kids younger and younger is that it pays off. Auburn got Gabe Wright this year, and part of that was due to offering him a scholarship as a sophomore. There is inherent danger here though. If one of these kids gets his scholarship pulled, it is going to create a big PR problem. Think over-signing is a public relations nightmare? Imagine pulling a scholarship from a kid who you have committed to since he was 15. Still, in order to keep up with this new recruiting practice Gene Chizik has gotten pro-active. He has taken his talents to Hollywood to team up with one of the hottest preteen stars out there.

If you are going to be racist, sexist, or blatantly idiotic I will probably delete your comment.
