Even the “Akron Hammer” Lebron James, probably didn’t have the handles like little Ketaan “Pewee” Wyatt at 8 years old. Since most native Clevelanders would now rather burn his jerseys after fleeing to Miami rather than admit Lebron as a native from the state of Ohio, maybe everyone should embrace Wyatt, all of 8 years old, as the next big thing to come out of the Buckeye State.
Ketaan is a rising 3rd grader for Martin Luther King Academy in Toledo, and is so much better than his own age group that he regularly plays against opponents that are 4-5 years his senior. The former Toledo HS ball boy lists his favorite players as Allen Iverson, Lebron James, and Brandon Jennings. Wyatt is rated as one of the top 3rd grade players in the country, let alone Ohio, by the site MiddleSchoolElite.com. He has impressed so much at an early age that Ketaan has even been given complimentary invites to Ohio State University and the University of Tennessee’s basketball camps.
