I agree with you on a couple of points Bluegrass. First, kids are, many times, to young to handle the freedom that college affords them. I started all 3 of my kids late to kindergarten and then held them back in middle school. There were all 19 when they graduated. As a matter of fact they were closer to 20. I calculated it so they would be eligible for all sports....my oldest son turned 19 in Sept his sr yr and my 2cd boy turned 19 in Oct. I just thought it would be better for the maturity factor. Both have graduated, one from UK and one from EKU. My 3rd is in her jr year at EKU with a 4.0 gpa. Secondly, NAIA schools, many times, offer outstanding educational opportunities. I sure would never discourage a child from considering an NAIA school just because of the size.

However, this thread being about Whitehead, Im sure that he will be a success at any school he decides to attend. From what I understand, they are getting a fine young man and I certainly understand his desire to play at UK. What Ky bred boy didnt imagine running onto the field at Commonwealth with that blue jersey on. I am just very happy for him.
