I saw that race Yesterday and did not realize who the kid was. I say lets offer him now for football and track. And while we are at it lets offer Alexander a football scolly at the same time. Lets get them both.

USATF Junior Olympics: A golden summer for Whitsett's Jailen HicksNews & Record His buddies in his Whitsett neighborhood are no match on foot. “They told me to race and go slow,” 8-year-old Jailen Hicks says of the challenges. “I”m like, ‘I’m not going slow.’ ” The teachers at Sedalia Elementary, where he will be a third-grader starting in August, are no match, either. They tried to race him on field day. He didn’t go slow. Hicks has needed to travel the state and country this summer competing in track and field championships to find people capable of beating him. There have been few.... Entire article: www.news-record.com/sports/recreation/article_5e0c3d90-f629-11e2-ad48-001a4bcf6878.html

ya'll think hicks' kid is a phenon? then you need to see this 11 year old basketball player! check this out. guys, i've seen a lot of basketball in all my days, trust me. but i've "never, ever, ever" seen anything like this before in my entire life! you've got to see this to believe it! there's this " 11 year old" kid who is only 4 foot 7 inches tall, who is skilled enough to hold his own against some of the best 15 and 16 year olds in the country. i mean, its incredible enough to be that short and still hold your own. but to also be 4 or 5 years younger than your competition too? and they're some of the best in the country on top of that? simply unbelievable!! here's the article, but checkout the video below. that's the only way you'll believe this article, courtesy of yahoo sports... sports.yahoo.com/blogs/highschool-prep-rally/11-old-julian-newman-stars-9th-10th-grade-102108737.htmlJulian Newman is still 11 years old, and he’s still a member of the Orlando (Fl.) Downey Christian High basketball team. This is his first summer on the proper prep hoops summer circuit, and he’s largely stayed below the hype that tends to follow any media darlings at major national events.
However, he didn’t elude the cameras at the recent ScoutsFocus All-American Camp. Competing against a handful of the nation’s top 9th and 10th graders, Newman shone, handing out dimes just like he did against the Florida private school athletic competition he tore apart all winter.
In fact, Newman was watched by Rivals.com RecruitScoop writer Alex Kline and a handful of other national recruiting writers, and none of them batted an eye at watching a soon-to-be 6th grader battle against athletes that seemed to be twice the size of the 4-foot-7 point man.
Newman’s performance was notable because it essentially validates what everyone saw on highlight reels this winter: He’s a serious player. At the ScoutsFocus event, Newman matched up against the likes of 13-year-old fellow phenom Damon Harge and Sacha Killeya-Jones, among the top recruits in the Class of 2016.

That kid has some serious skills for an 11 year old but he is pretty short for his age. Hicks is more of a prospect at 8 than that kid is at 11. He'll be in high school in three years and he still will be under 5'6.
One thing you can't coach is size and speed.

Hicks is faster. You already know this because you know that Hicks had a faster time than that kid in the regionals. Hicks stumbled coming out of the blocks in the qualifying round and almost fell straight on his face or else he would have been the favorite to take the gold in the 100.

NC DID NOT have a regional this year because the Nationals were held in NC. Whenever you host the nationals your state doesn't have a regional. The top 5 from the State meet goes to nationals. Hicks must be from out of state if he ran in a regional? What was his 100m time? Not debating .000004 seconds with you, just curious.
