Whne the kid cares anough, he is a fantastic talent. He will struggle in college being "on" throughout the season when you have to get qualifying marks and such. I could see how some college coaches had some reservations, but I can also see how others could see the potential and were willing to gamble. He is NOT a cc runner though. Not saying he isnt' tough enough, but the kid doesn's really like to run (yet).
Great point. Some project kids turn out to be one semester washouts and others really shine. Most coaches know this. One thing is for sure. He will get his ass handed to him in college and it will be interesting to see the effect it has on him. He'll either man up or wash out.
