“Yeah, he’s already got some offers from colleges,” he told the radio station. “It’s pretty crazy. It should be a violation. You shouldn’t be recruiting 10-year-old kids.”
But seriously, the kid is GOOD. Here he is dominating at John Lucas All-Star Weekend, one of the most competitive youth basketball tournaments in the country.
The video was posted on Feb. 23 and has more than 4.7 million views on YouTube. youtube.com

In the meantime, he and his younger brother, Bryce, will continue to rock the coolest kicks and backpacks at school.
