Scouting and offering a scholarship are two totally different things. Of course coaches are going to see younger kids play, especially if they are playing up a couple of years in AAU. Bailey didn't commit to Indiana until his junior year of high school. Yes, he was scouting him. Scouting and offering a scholarship are two totally different things.

If the coach that is recruiting the player is a good coach/person, than the coach and the kid have, in this instance, four years to develop a relationship before he even gets to college. The coach can then help tell the player things he wants him to work on and practice. The coach would be able to check in and make sure the kid is keeping up with his school work and also staying out of trouble.<br><br>Now I could be naive, but I like to think most Coaches are willing to put that extra time in a recruit, especially if they are recruiting them at such a young age. However I can also see it taking a huge turn for the worse, but overall I am giving the positives outweighing the bad.
