Report confirmed: Cajuns offer 14-year-old scholarship

[CharlieK]

If this is the case, why stop at 14?

I heard Saban just recruited this cat. Scouts say he's going to be off the charts!

Why stop there? Offer Eli McGuire's as of yet not conceived first child a scholarship. Make it a child's choice scholarship, whatever sport you want!

Who?

This guy's kid. I heard he has the genes to be a top notch QB. Offer him now before McNeese or LolyPoly does. Can't fall behind those guys.

I think you are just upset no one has offered your kids yet. Don't let this turn you into another Bandwagon King

I mean really! The oldest is the greatest distance runner I have ever seen in the history of distance runners. Steve Prefontaine descended from the clouds and told me that himself. If UL doesn't get on it quick, I'm gonna black list their asses. Believe me there are plenty of schools that will want him. And the other one? 9 years old and weighs more than his 13 year old brother. He's obviously going to be a D1 offensive lineman. I'm not sure what Hud is waiting on.

To even compare the situations is laughable.

To offer a 14 year old child a college football scholarship is laughable.

Kinda like putting a 15 year old on the cover of sports illustrated and have a $100 million Nike contract waiting for him when he turned 18?

You may not agree with it, you may think it's absurd...but it's not " laughable." No one is laughing at us, as many state here, many of the big programs do it and it's mostly just hype.

It's also the reason that today's youth: A) don't know the game; B) are entitled; C) are soft; D) can explode a locker room; E) have no sense of 'team'; F) have no idea how to compete.

Not to mention everywhere that kid goes, this story will follow them. Bye-Bye to an organic, earned ascension up the player rankings.

It's damn ridiculous.

Anyway, don't we have a regional this weekend?

Nobody? You don't think anybody else thinks it's laughable that colleges are offering 14 year olds? I would be willing to take that bet if there were some way to prove it.

No one has answered. What do you think Tony Robicheaux thinks of this practice? Honest question, as I see him as somewhat of an ideal example of a coach doing the job the right way for the right reasons. I can't speak for him, but I have my guesses. Maybe I'm wrong.
