standout Thon Maker withdraws from school

What does it matter how old they are (could only be a year or two anyway)? They will not make a cent in the few years that they are going throught the junior pathway and if they go to the US they are not even taking anything from our system or some other kids place? It is how they perform as an adult that will define them in the end. My kids have played with and against quite a few Sudanise kids and I think every one of them has been a great kid. They have a lot of hurdles in front of them to fit in here and Basketball seems to be one of the few communities where they feel comfortable. I for one would hate to see that change because of the attitude and comments that seem to be popping up here every time they are mentioned..

Gee whiz, some pretty ordinary comments get tossed around in these threads ...

Similar comments around Deng Deng a few weeks back ... simple fact is that many of these kids from African countries have no idea when they were born and there a no records in their home country.

Our government got into hot water a few months back where they were using bone scanning to determine that people should be put into adult detention facilities, when it later came to light they were under age kids.

So if anyone has a method to "prove" how old anyone is, no doubt the authorities would love to hear it.

In the meantime, people in glass houses ...
