Re: This story might be fun to follow

I made myself eligible for the NBA draft after my senior year of high school. We did an article in the newspaper about it. I thought for sure someone would take a second round flier on me and my upside.

I annouced the the ISU paintball club I was running for president last time around. I think I might have been the only person who voted for me though.

Man, I need to contact this kid, tell him I need $500 cash in order to offer him a scholarship to my "school", how gullible is this kid?

Even if a school was looking at him before this I think I'd be concerned what kind of idiot I was recruiting that would fall for something like this.

And I, Bruno, will dive 1,000 feet into a block of cement. On my head, yet!

It looks like he hasn't signed anywhere yet. We could still steal him from Cal.

Your problem was taking the name of a second rate CPU for a moniker. Had you called yourself Xeon or Opteron they'd have grabbed you for sure.

Re: This story might be fun to follow

I dont' get this. His family paid somebody? Was this supposed to be some sort of headhunter where he goes and finds a school for the kid? I'm confused as to how this worked. At what point would any family of a potential recruit have to make any sort of payment?

VERY common among marginal athletes. These guys pay a middle man a fee and they send their name, stats, and highlight tapes out to lots of schools. D2 and D3 schools get tons of info on kids from these services.
If a kid is good enough, they don't need to use these services.

Exaggeration is a BILLION times worse than understating.

Um, isn't that what your high school coach is for?

I think he used a company called "D1 Recruiting". At least that's what Greg Doyel told me.

Patrick who?
