How about the recruiter who tells a kid in the middle of the tournament, you need to get your parents up here and fast... schools A, B & C are interested? This scenario happened last summer to my nephew in the middle of the East Cobb Tourney (2nd week after Jul 1.
Parents dropped everything drove 8 hours to ATL only to have this clown hold court in the lobby of the hotel and NOT tell them anything until they forked over more $$$ which did not happen. The only expense they paid was for the opportunity to play on the team and gain exposure.
The bottom line... if a particular school has an interest in your kid after watching him play, they will get in touch with him at the appropriate time.
Paying money to a recruiter in my opinion is a terrible waste of money.
