16 year old BB Player actually 22!

[Justin]

Today, we found out that one of the players for Odessa High, a local school in my area, who was playing as a 16 year old was actually 22.

The story is, he came from Haiti, did something, and then came here. When at a game, a coach from Florida identified him and said he played on my team, the 22 YO denied it and kept denying. Eventually government agencies were contacted. He had no fingerprints, but the government workers said something to him and he confessed.

22 years old and married. Playing on a high school basketball team. Imagine if this were to be a terrorist?

**I got bits of this story in one of my classes today from my teacher

I take it what your saying is this: http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/crime/ ... =allsearch

But they say haiti and your saying cubu 😵. is the CNN link above same as your talking about?

But what your saying, thats pretty amazing that a 22 YO can get away with being a 16 YO

Dang, I was thinking haiti but I was talking to a friend. Yes that is the story.

He had already graduated. The thing is he got through the system easily, so that many other people that may be worse than just playing basketball come in and possibly make things worse.

He disqualified his schools team to play in UIL competition.

Really.

 

[Nebulous]

The fact is this person just wanted to play basketball and be a part of a school. Doesn't sound like a monster to me.

 

[Justin]

He isn't a monster. I didn't say that, if he could get in, imagine who else could.

 

[Nebulous]

I doubt a terrorist would try to enroll in a school and get on a basketball team. It would be easier to just walk into a school and blow it up.

 

[Justin]

Not getting in high school to play basketball 😛 That is not there main reason. There are many things that can go wrong and happen. Not all would just blow up the school

 

[Nebulous]

Like I said, if someone had plans to attack a school or do something bad, they could easily do it without being enrolled there. We can sit here and say "what if" all day or "If he could get in then <insert blank>" until our faces turn blue. Wont make any of it relevant or true.. I love it when people panic over nothingness. Its amusing. 😛

Regarding this story.. He should have just been kicked out of the school. Jailing him seems silly because his in intentions seemed innocent enough. If he had any brains he would just join a basketball team ran by some outside organization.. Like the YMCA or at a church or something.

LMAO. People are only getting sadder.

 

[Uphoreka]

Pedophile, jk

Wow, he must did a good job pretending to act younger.

 

[XcapeX]

hah, that's interesting. some people..

 

[froggyboy604]

Wow, it is weird that no one who is his family or friends found out about his double life for so long.

 

[Bossanova]

I know the older generation wish they could be younger..but a 22 year old passing off as 16? That is just..wtf.

 

[froggyboy604]

I'm guesing the 22 year old probably shaved a lot of his facial hair since 22 year olds have a lot more body hair then the typical 16 year old.

But, I heard he was black, and most black people are tall even at a young age so it is not as hard to pull off.

I think someone watched to much Hannah Montana...

 

[Hotspot]

Wow, I don't think he looks 16 at all. In fact I think he looks his age.
