Have we ever before offered a player so young as D.J. Burns? Is this the beginning of an even more forward-thinking recruiting process?

Play on position words?

In 2019, D.J. Burns will be 6'11" and play like Carl Anthony Townes.

When Asst Coach Brown coached me 41 years ago, he seemed pretty African American to me. Although I think we just called his color black back then.

This seems to be the new trend. Freshman at Cox Mill received an offer from Carolina this year. I'm pretty sure it's not a good trend.
I've heard anecdotes that it may be worse with girls. Perhaps because they generally grow younger, I've heard of middle school volleyball players being offered scholarships. I suspect collegecoach has some insight.

Davidson has had several black coaches over the years. Coach Dixon who worked with Bobby Hussey later coached the lady's team at Furple, I believe. |

When Pete Carroll was the still (committing NCAA violations) running things at the University of Spoiled Children, he offered an 8th grader (a QB from a football factory HS near me) a scholarship. To me, offering a player a scholarship in football that far out from his college matriculation is ludicrous.

Curry has two girls. Had either or both been boys, I would be tempted to give them an offer while in the womb. |

Offer them both now. If they accept, our women's coach 15 years from now will likely be thankful.

Heard his name before but didn't see him on the list, big-time shooter. One thing I'm noticing is how many of these recent kids we're interested are affiliated with Under Armour AAU squads. |
