The kid is a freshman in high school.  Wonder if Coach Ford and Coach Tate will really matter when the time comes.

His mixtape was crazy for his age.  You could have fooled me on a 4star entering his senior year and I'd believe it. 

[almaman]

ain't that what the mixtapes supposed to be doing?

Sure. But I’ve also never watched a mixtape of an 8th grader thinking he’s better than most seniors I’ve seen. Liked I said earlier, I would have thought he was a junior or senior

He's got a name that'll open the NIL checkbook of our BMDs.

I haven't even seen the facilities.  I just remember watching them play WG last year and I was like man, they're pretty good.  Then I look them up and its all frosh with just a few sophomores.

I always thought Principia was a seminary. Just looked it up, it's not They are flushed with money. For only 350 students and being a small liberal arts school they have a endowment of almost $700 mil.  Not too shabby. Put many much larger A10 schools to shame in endowments.

Principia College is in Elsah, IL; the Principia they're talking about is a high school in Town & Country.  They're both affiliated with Christian Scientists.  I recall one year when I was a kid, some students there died of measles because...Christian Scientists.  The school was also in the news a few years ago for hazing incidents in which students were sodomized.  To my knowledge, Grandy Glaze did not go to Principia.
