I've never used one but see the benefits. It is an adviser just like the info you get on here. If they are doing their job right, they will provide you email templates, video suggestions, contacts, lists of emails for coaches that fit your abilities, and counsel you on what teams, tournaments and other things to help you get recruited. Rather than scour through thousands of forum messages and having to figure out what to do from all these different opinions, you pay someone to give you this information. I know several that it has worked for and others that it has not. Just like all things. I don't see a problem with them if you would rather pay than put in the work. For the people who do not know, they are a great resource that you pay for just like what we are getting and providing on here.
