The cult is about recruiting young guys at a young age, because recruiters like certain high school players’ talents. They play at a high standard when they face an opponent, but recruiters find players at ages that should not be acceptable. Young people in middle school getting recruited is not right; they don’t know anything about their careers or futures yet. In my opinion, being recruited by colleges when you are a middle school student or younger should be illegal.

One example of a player getting recruited at a young age is David Sills. He is a skilled young quarterback from Delaware who got recruited by USC Trojans head coach, Lane Kiffin.

He was recruited by college teams in California, such as UCLA Bruins & USC Trojans. He is training in several quarterback camps and his family hired a personal coach.

This style of recruitment should not be allowed in college football. A college school should not recruit children under the age of 15 because they are not fully grown or mature enough to be put in the pressure of college recruiting. I don’t think that recruiting should start until junior or senior year of high school. Another reason recruiting shouldn’t be allowed at the middle school level is because the young athletes haven’t been put in pressure in games. When you get out of middle school, then you can focus on what your life is going to be at the end of high school.
