Very true, osunut2, so true. Very similar to paying a company to promote you to college coaches. Sure they may know a couple, but you can load your hudl highlights, and recruiting coaches emails are available to you like they are to these companies. I am sure there are some very reputable people in the business. Just do your research, talk to former players who used them, etc. colleges pay people to go in search of athletes. Texting or tweeting about your kid to a coaches public Twitter account can be done by you for free.
