Joe Betterman started in high school. So did Adam Wheeler who was an Olympic bronze medalist. Quicey Clark started as a junior in high school. Dremiel Byers didn't wrestle in college and played football briefly in college before joining the Army.
Don't forget that gifts often come with costs that go beyond their purchase price. When you purchase a child the latest smartphone, you're also committing to a monthly phone bill.
