A High School freshman recently committed to play golf for UGA (link below). First of all, I want to point out that I am happy for the kid. Good for him and he is obviously working very hard.
But I don't understand recruiting now days. When I got an athletic scholarship, it was all done my senior year of High School. I had to cram visits in within a certain amount of time, etc.
How does a freshman know that he wants to play for a school 4 years down the road, and furthermore, how is this kind of thing allowed in the NCAA. He is 14 for Pete's sake.
Just seems very odd.
