Let me guess - muttering under his breath about Jax while flipping tiresGuess who's even older than Jax....
Then Melvin Miller, who will turn 19 the very start of his senior year. I like the Bassett's, Miller, and Forrest, and enjoy watching them compete, but I can't stand this prep redshirting nonsense.
Same. Not like Penn State hasn't had or doesn't have some guys that did it as well and it isn't the kids fault. But, I can still really dislike it.
+1 Duke and Blaze are also both old for college freshman. It's just the thing now. I've gone off about it a few times as my son (a 10yr old, 5th grade sprinter) is often competing against kids 2+ years (and a head taller) than him.
Duke may be a little technically but Marcus blaze is the exact normal age for college. He turned 19 his freshman year in college. He's just got a fall birthday. My son has a September birthday and due to the natural cut off he's gonna be one of the oldest in his grade.
My perception is likely skewed as I was 16 (turned 17 in the spring) as a college freshman. I didn't think my kids were young for their grades, but they're definitely younger than all their classmates.
Ya that's really just young for college freshman. The normal age is 14-15 highschool freshman, 15-16 sophomore,16-17 junior,17-18 senior then 18-19 college. Give or take. We're you super smart?lol
Same experience here. Parents on my daughter’s travel lacrosse team are dumbfounded when they find out she skipped a grade. They look at me like I have three heads.
I started early and then skipped a grade. I also graduated a semester early. I maxxed out size-wise as an 11yr old (was a 6'1" 200lbs. 11yr old, I'm a 6'1" 185lbs. 45yr old) so physical maturity was never a concern. I'm a moron, but academia was always easy for me.
I did that sort as well. Grew to 6'2 in 8th grade but was an absolute string bean and ended up 6'3 but around 230. All my growth was filling out I guess ha. I have two other children that will be 17 until the spring of their senior year and I have no intention of holding either back. Wouldn't make sense to me.
I haven't measured my height in a bit. No doubt ankylosing spondylitis and disc degeneration has shortened me, just a matter of how much. My issue with the scale is not increased adipose, but the slow progressive loss of lean muscle.
Good for you on the Grand Canyon trip. I was out there 20 years ago and hurt my leg when my wife pushed me off the rim.
Who cares? He is a month older and much better. I don't listen to ESPN. I just enjoy watching good wrestling and that kid is must watch.
Penn State Hazleton?
