    That was it? When I was in 4th grade I was on my cities all star team. We entered a city tournament being a good team, but had to play the west coast Nike all star team. They were 5th and 6th graders who came on a Nike Bus with sweats and everything. THEY WERE HUGE! I was my teams center and the guy I had to guard was 6 feet+ and could dunk. They were dunking on us in 4th grade.... as 5th and 6th graders. We lost 78-9. When we made 3's we went nuts.

    Wait he is 11 and a 7th grader? That doesn't compute. Means he is 16 as a senior?! I was 18....

    That's a pretty sick dunk for a 7th grader!

    Penny Hardaway was so sick. Btw, I was dunking in the 9th grade & I have no talent whatsoever. How tall is this kid?

    Its not just that he is dunking, he has great mechanics and body control for that age. I could dunk in 9th grade but looked like a dork doing it.

    Holy shit! I thought you were joking.
    Meet Adrian Moore, the top prospect in the class of 2016 (yes, the high school class of 2016. Things get weird when you start to rank middle schoolers). Moore is dunking, and dunking repeatedly, and some of the top programs in the country have noticed – he’s already gotten a letter from Baylor University.
    Lest you think Moore simply got lucky and hit the genetic jackpot, here’s a video of his workout routine.

    Some kid from Illinois was offered last year and he accepted as a 6th or 7th grader.....I think Illinois, could be wrong.

    Not offered by Baylor.....And I was thinking of that USC football dude...I was way off.

    Exactly what I was thinking. That was sick. LOL at anyone trying to act like that isn't impressive. That would be a huge varsity dunk.

    yea, i get that, (can they actually even sign or anything tho?) just saying, all he did is dunk. and the competition didnt even look all that great. if he is an amazing player as well, then it makes more sense.

    I wonder if this is a good thing being this explosive at such a young age, it may take a toll on his body before he even hits 18. I mean damn! he is doing this at eleven!

    We'll see. It is interesting how many Little League World Series kids go on to do nothing. Early development doesn't always equate to continued domination.

    I mean when I was in 8th grade this dude in my class was dunking, soo it's not outrageous. This kid ended up winning the state title our senior year of high school but he didn't play big time college ball. Not that unheard of.
