Got game in 7th grade? NCAA says you're a prospect
It looks like the NCAA plans to fight unraveling with unraveling:
"Giving in to the young-and-younger movement in college basketball recruiting, the NCAA has decreed that seventh-graders are now officially classified as prospects.
The organization voted Thursday to change the definition of a prospect from ninth grade to seventh grade — for men's basketball only — to nip a trend in which some college coaches were working at private, elite camps and clinics for seventh- and eighth-graders. The NCAA couldn't regulate those camps because those youngsters fell below the current cutoff."

This should be a good thing for the athletes to protect them from being bombarded by coaches and put some restrictions in place.
