I'm certain that the Harding kids are very bright/gifted, but look at the colleges they attended/attend. They mention Faulkner University and Huntingdon College (both in Alabama). Take a look at the College Board website to see the 25%-75% percentile SAT scores for those schools. Not so great...how do gifted kids benefit by going to schools where the average SAT score is below the national average? Bright 12 years old kids going to college with 20 year olds that might be "not-so-good" students. Why not wait a few years and have them attend a good college with academic peers?
