5th Grade Kennedy Chandler Shows We All Can Go (Q&A)

Yes!

Kennedy Chandler There isn’t much else we can say about 5th grade, 11 year old, Kennedy Chandler (TN), outside of Memphis Sports story http://memphisport.com/2014/04/aau-standout-kennedy-chandler-learning-from-games-finest-point-guards/ and what we wrote with respect to his spectacular performance at the MSE ATL Camp last year.

Chandler has made a name for himself on both the AAU circuit (WACG) and competitive camp scene. One of the big questions are, is Chandler an outstanding student – athlete? Is he a top five player in the nation? Is he a first year varsity starter? Is he in two percentile of high school players who’ll compete on highest level of collegiate sports while at the same time receiving a free education? The answer is the subtitle.

If you’re a critic wondering who’s checking this article and how many views, try every media in the world including NY Times Sports Magazine, ESPN magazine and Sports Illustrated, and over one million satisfied readers. Chandler getting exposure on MiddleSchoolElite.com isn’t the case, it’s a matter of him not letting all the hype go straight to his head.
