Recruiting advisors for HS football players

The New York Times consistently provides excellent coverage of the transition from high school athlete to college athlete.  In today’s edition reporters Thayer Evans and Pete Thamel tell the story of high school tailback Bryce Brown and his relationship to Brian Butler, described as “among a new breed of entrepreneurs inserting themselves into college football recruiting.  Some say he is navigating gray areas of N.C.A.A. rules and brokering his clients’ futures for personal gain. Others say he is providing his clients with exposure they would not normally receive by leveraging connections he has made during the recruitment of the Brown brothers to create a market for lesser players.”
