My 9-year-old is into baseball and football. He has a very strong arm, good eye-hand coordination, and a knowledge of both sports beyond his years. As quarterback last year, the head coach at times ran a hurry-up offense and let him audible at the line. Opposing coaches about shit their pants when they saw 8 and 9 year olds run a no huddle and the QB calling the play at the line. He has been on travelling baseball teams for 3 years now and I think that baseball has a slight edge over football in his favorite sports to play category. I don't know if he has "it" to be at OSU athletically, much will be up to how hard he wants to work at it. But there is no doubt that he will be attending OSU one way or the other!
My 7-year-old is into baseball, football, and golf. He is big for his age (about 4'5'' and 90 pounds) and has godd footwork for his size and age. He loves playing center for his brother when practicing football in the yard which is good since he has lineman written all over him. In baseball he crushes the ball, has a strong arm and decent glove. In golf, he seems to have decent natural ability. As with his brother, I don't know if he has "it" to be at OSU athletically, much will be up to how hard he wants to work at it. But there is no doubt that he too will be attending OSU!
There is a boy in our town (9 year old) who is athletically gifted to almost freaky proportions. He throws a baseball around 65 mph, a football about 35 yards, I saw him punt in a game last year that ended up going 60 yards (about 30-35 yards in the air), has speed and is a lefty. Of all the kids I have seen he is one that I would say has "it" to potentially be at OSU. And believe me, I have started the "recruiting" already.
