Actually, I am not really questioning this guy's age...it is more a general comment about how everyone makes a big deal out some of these younger competitors "potential." I say, show your potential on stage that is all. We will see about this fella, he looks good, but we will see what he does at the Nationals. That is if he makes it there...you know what they say, "many a slip between the cup and the lip." I sincerely hope that he does well, but I have seen so many would-be pros with all kinds of potential fade away.
Oh, and I know for a fact that there has been more than one teen champion who wasn't a "teen." Competing in the '"Teen Nationals" really doesn't mean that anyone is a teen. Although, he probably is, I am just saying that competing in that show doesn't make him a teen. After all, how many guys have competed in a "natural" show that weren't natural. LOL Happens all the time.
