Bobby is currently the General Manager and Assistant Publisher at the Daily Statesman after serving his term as Managing Editor. He wears many hats in the office, including coordinator of all things online, but his real passion is sports.

Move over Lebron James!

Meet Jaylin Fleming, a fifth-grader at Beasley Academic Center in Chicago, who is regarded by some as the most talented basketball player his age in the country. College recruiters have already started courting the youngster and his family.

Will he make it professionally someday or cave under the great amount of pressure that will surely be following him as he ages? What do you think?

Where did you run across this Bobby? From what I just saw, I would 100% disagree that he is a basketball prodigy. Good yes, but colleges already recruiting him, that I'm leery about. I have seen kids dribble that good at halftime shows....I feel sorry for kids like this and I blame it on their parents. By exposing him like this at such an early age, no matter what he does, it will never be good enough....Sad.
