Fred Gulley III  Fayetteville, AR  6' 1"  HS class of 2009 ?

"Last week the Morning News of Northwest Arkansas said Arkansas had offered a scholarship to a local 11-year-old named Fred Gulley III. Razorback coach Stan Heath said it is completely inaccurate. "There's no truth to it," he said Wednesday. "I've never seen the kid and we have not offered a scholarship to any 11-year-old." Heath said one of his assistants did see Gulley at a small event in Fayetteville but never officially offered any scholarships. "It's really unfortunate a young child was put in this kind of situation," he said. "

I don't know what is so ridiculous about it. If he can shoot a jumper, I say sign him up. We need all of the help we can get!

No kidding.  I can't even now remember what life was like before Google, and I don't want to.

The kid is Fred Gulley and he plays for Fayetteville Woodland Junior High. He can go. I am not sure how tall, maybe 6' or 6'1" not sure he is going to grow anymore. Cat quick, long arms, can really jump, pretty good jumpshot

[heffy22]

He is not a shooter.  He is a slasher.  He was 4-19 from the field last night.

[HogBall94]

He'll fit right in.

[mbgrulz]

So the kid is actually more like 14. If he's graduating in 2009 and is in Junior High, he can't be 11.

the article is pretty old. i found it in my glove compartmant.

Yeah he is a good player and is in 9th grade, doesn't usually shoot 4-19, but I've seen him and he plays at the talent level of a good player in 10th grade.  There is no way he already has a scholarship offered though.

14yrs old and 6'1 !!!  That means he still has 4 more yrs of growing to do.

[heffy22]

Hey, my dads only 5'6" and I'm already 5'10". I too am a class of 09

[oldbear]

Doesn't mean alot.  I was 6'1" as a 15 year old 9th grader. . . 26 years later I am 6'1" as an old man.

[bigyellowdog]

He is not a shooter. He is a slasher. He was 4-19 from the field last night.

If he does not grow anymore, He can be a future Allen Iverson.
