It seems we have become a society that raises children rather than adults. Between helicopter parents, going on job interviews with 18 year old (+) young adults, participation ribbons, moving “kids” into dorm rooms, and now actually moving with students to their college town - the list is an endless parade of parents living life through their offspring.
I suspect the Flagg family moved in part to protect their investment. Cooper is only 18 (born 12/21/2006) so 17 when he started college. Male brains don’t fully mature until the 25-30 year time period. It will be interesting to see how he is managed should he enter the draft this year and how the money and influence of other players will impact his development into an adult.
Indeed.
