Yes, it's true: Rivals is dropping judgement on 12-year-olds now.
This is the logical destination of recruiting isn't it? As interest expands and more recruiting services rise, companies like Rivals will look at the middle school circuit as an untapped ground.
I look forward to this fall, when there will undoubtedly be middle school football games marred by brawls among parents started by their tykes' star rankings.
