According to NCAA rules, a prospective player must be enrolled in the 9th grade before any kinds of offers can be made. The rules are meant to curtail monetary assistance, which is strictly forbidden in the NCAA. However, other college standouts like Marquette's Matt Carlino received an offer from Arizona when he was in elementary school. College coaches are not prevented from observing players for evaluations, only making offers.
LeBron James rebuked reporters for the attention his son is receiving, but he is also partially responsible for perpetrating some of it. In December, he tweeted a video of his son in a youth tournament penetrating, scoring and passing in a similar style that he himself plays.
