They should have focused more on their home gyms and the weight room’s equipment. Looks like they have a bunch of really nice equipment. That kid doing the Bulgarian Split Squats needs help on the form though.

They usually push them through because the teachers don't want to deal with them again.

  I think it was 8 th or 9 th grade. his father was a coach and really pushed him. His brother was more suited to the game and played 3 years at Pitt. he was recruited by former nfl coach dave wannstedt at pitt.

D1 is Middle School.

I've seen parent have aspirations of where their kids will fit in college and hold back a grade.....also, bridge years, prep years after HS, etc.....

Now, so many completely overestimate where their kids will land, but what I'm saying is what you posted doesn't surprise me.
