The Next Basketball Phenom?

I know that using a website to promote oneself is nothing new, but this kid seems pretty interesting. Anybody heard of him? Is he legit, or is it too early to tell. Not bad for 14 years old.

I couldn't see any pictures but on his bio he lists himself @ 14 yrs old and starting for the HS team....in the 7th grade. A 14 year old should be a Freshman in HS. My son is 13 and an 8th grader.

Getting tired of all this ish, they need to put a 20 year age limit on the nba and call it a day. That why league is so sorry today. We bring these young kids in and basically babysite them until they get food. They figure "they're gonna be good one day, might as well get em now.

What does this have to do with the NBA? The web site lists favorite colleges. So I'm sure he will be going to college first.

His photos are on there in the gallery. In the FAQ section it answers the age/grade situation.

Why is OJ 14 years old and only in the 7th Grade?
OJ?s parents held him back 1 year when transferring to a private school to better prepare him for tougher academic studies. His birth date is in November (considered late) after school begins which makes him 1 year behind his original class. He was 13 when school began in August 2001.
