Message: [QUOTE="El Jefe Syr, post: 1759554, member: 1301"] The rhetoric agents use to lure kids into these decisions focuses on the "now" without mention of the future. The general case (as I understand) is presented like: "in a month you'll be a millionaire and playing the sport you love." Agents have professional, slick presentations that come off as "cool" and "mature/serious" - intended to make the colleges these kids are considering to leave seem hokey and bush-league. Not saying SU is hokey, but this is the way many agents drive the perception-wedge between college and pro and entice kids to make decisions that may not be ideal. Of course it's in every agents' best interest to sign players today. (this post is informed through some friends who work for professional sports agencies - but not agents themselves - as well as University Athletic departments, so it isn't completely me blathering :) [/QUOTE]
