So I gotta ask ...
First, I thought Greg Oden looked 40 when he played hoops for OSU. So Golden doesn't look that old, but he does not look like the average teenager. Just saying.
The real question ... I saw the Altoona Mirror article on his commitment. It states that he transfered and repeated his junior year in order to improve his academics. OK, good for anyone who makes a commitment to improve his academics. But is he eligible to play high school football still? How many years does a kid have to play? Assuming he played as a freshman, he'll have a five year playing career?
Somebody correct my logic here.
And yes, I know kids take athletic redshirts early, like pre-first grade in private school to give them an advantage, and kids may repeat grades earlier than high school. But repeating in high school and playing?
