Message: [QUOTE="joct, post: 2319791, member: 2001"] Such a tangled web in the current set up. You've got schools, agents, and sneaker companies all wanting a piece of the kid. AAU coaches looking to steer kids, agents stepping in early to try to influence a kid's choice of agents down the road, with somehow sneaker companies stepping in throughout the whole time. Sneaker companies in major deals with schools, coaches, and the travel programs where the kids start playing. Major money at stake with each step, but if a dime goes to the wrong person at the wrong time it is a major problem. Not to mention way more high schoolers are getting advice that they are 12 months away from striking it rich then there really are, with advice from these groups and their own crowds. [/QUOTE]
