    2. They believe they will get more exposure for college programs.
    3. "Celebrity" status appeal. You play for IMG.
    I think you pretty much hit the mark. I think we already see this here in Texas with Select Baseball and Basketball.

    IMG also has state of the art training facilities, training programs, special nutrition programs, etc. They also play against elite competition.

    Kids go there if they want to treat football as a business.

    It's like a college football environment on the high school level.

    They've got Whataburger in Florida but it's going to take a while to get there.... closest is probably Jacksonville.... There used to be one in Lakeland (about an hour east of IMG - where my son lives) but it closed about 3 years ago....

    Isn't it strange that after a bombing everyone blames the Crazy Azz bomber(s), but after a shooting the problem is the gun?

    AAU has made its way to football. Get over it. Basketball coaches has been dealing with this for years. Coach the kids you got, cheer the kids you got. Its not the end of the world.

    I agree. No different than if he was recruited and went off to play at Cuero.

    Yea you are right. Coach and win with the kids you got. But those academys / private schools better leave our kid Keaontay Ingram alone. He has burst onto the scene. 1 of the sites (Scout) has him a 4 star and the #1 ranked RB in Texas and #14 in the country. 247 has him 3 star, but will be 4 star recruit very soon on that site. They have him the #17 RB in the country.
