University of Miami recruiting 9-year old Jaden Newman
Newman is just 9-years-old
Jaden Newman isn't a normal girls basketball player. The 9-year-old earned national headlines in January for playing on her school's varsity high school basketball team while still in fourth grade. Yet she's now getting attention of a more formal kind that raises even more eyebrows: She's being formally recruited by a major collegiate program.
Earlier in June, Newman received an official recruiting letter from the University of Miami's girls basketball program.
On June 10, Jaden Newman took an unofficial recruiting visit to Miami, where she toured the program's facilities and got to mug inside the Miami "U", among other experiences.
Newman is just 9-years-old.
