These kids of famous athletes always end up being myths, but the good thing about today’s sporting culture is that we now can know how good the kids are. Little John is pretty good, but a 2021 graduate who is done with his Junior career and ended up at 19 in the AJGA rankings. I’m supposed to believe he ends up better than a two time major winner? It’s possible, but I think it’s unlikely.
Actually, the US Junior Am was contested last weekend, and I thought it was very entertaining. The final four were four of the best players on the Junior Circuit. No fluke runs this year into the final four. The winner was Nicholas Dunlap, who hits it a mile and has been the form player on the Junior Circuit in 2021. He has one more year and then he’ll head to Alabama. Probably their best recruit since JT. That program has struggled a lot in recent years.
