So there are 15-20 top recruits in MBB every year.  They get to know each other through AAU ball, tournaments and all star games.  Seth Greenberg has been pontificating on ESPN all morning that these kids have "money managers & agents" that manage their careers starting in HS.

A couple simple questions.   Do all these top kids have their hands out? A majority of these kids end up at the same schools: KY, Duke, KU, UNC, etc.  Is that just about basketball or is there other financial inducements routinely made available through shoe companies, advisors or boosters.  Finally, just how widespread is this corruption?

Former MBB coach Fran Frascilla recounted a disturbing and, in his view, frequent scenario today, describing a typical discussion with a representative of one of these recruits as follows:  "Coach, the kid loves you guys, but what are you going to do for the family?"

If you're a college coach trying to run a clean program, it has to be disheartening to deal with a system that appears to be rigged from top to bottom.
