A different look at recruiting

Here is a good article from this weekend’s AJC that unveils some of the seamier aspects of recruiting. Not bribes and fixed grades -- manipulation and exploitation from the recruiting services. These kids are quasi-public figures so I have no problem with the reporting aspect of these services. What does turn me off is the manipulation of the rankings and the charging for junk science. There is plenty of blame to go around: coaches, players, the sites and fans all play into it.
