Baseball Phenom Bryce Harper To Enroll In College at 16-Years-Old
June 15, 2009 Posted in College, Collegiate, Sports
A 16-year-old baseball phenom dubbed the game’s “Chosen One” by Sports Illustrated plans to skip his final two years of high school in hopes of entering the Major League Baseball draft earlier, his father said.
Bryce Harper has registered at a community college where he plans to attend classes in the fall and play next season, his father Ron Harper said.
Harper, a 6-foot-3-inch catcher whom experts say could be a top draft pick when he becomes eligible, recently signed enrollment forms and a letter of intent to play for the College of Southern Nevada.
Harper plans to take a high school equivalency test and enter the draft in 2010 or 2011, Ron Harper said.

SI says he's "The Chosen One." Kiss of death. Anybody remember Drew Henson? Didn't think so.
He's already compromised. If his parents really cared about him they would do their best to keep the pressure off and try to retain some normalcy in his life. The SI article mentioned that Bryce's mom "just knew" when she heard of a great weekend performance. What exactly did she just know, that she and the whole family were so special and destined for fortune and greatness. I feel sorry for Bryce, there are so many things that are going to have to go just right for him to even come close to meeting these impossible expectations. Let him be a kid and play ball. Oops, too late.
