by high school prospects and their families.\u00a0 Yet, when the prospect\u00a0which had followed the expert&#8217;s advice ends up with no scholarship offers, the pot stirrers are nowhere to

It&#8217;s their way of maintaining some sort of twisted control over the actions of their friends, relatives or local athletes.\u00a0 It&#8217;s such a sad, sad thing to see &#8212;\u00a0young athletes and their parents\u00a0held back in their attempt to secure a college scholarship because\u00a0somebody has the need to appear to be an authority figure\u00a0when in reality they are\u00a0taking the family down a dead end road.\u00a0 These people\u00a0are, to be blunt, ignorant about the NCAA, it&#8217;s rules and\u00a0how a family can best navigate through the
