I don't like it. It creates this bizarre oddity socially and academically for the kid. It's also sort of cheating or gaming the system in some low level way.

It's recruiting posturing on Steroids. Speaking of Steroids , if were gonna hold our kids back in school for better college athletic recruiting opportunities , why don't we just take them to Dr. Balco and have him shoot'em up with 10cc's of anabolic steroids every week before the PG tourney and really watch them light the gun up .
