Regardless of what some may think, not every recruit & family want money. He's a good kid that keeps to himself.
He has a good family & support system in place that will help him make the best possible decision for his future.
If you legitimately are a handler you're pretty strange bud... I've known alot of handlers in my days & even more now. Two things keep all of them simple.
#1 once they get the kids offers up there job is done. All they are is a middle man between assistant coaches & kids & parents. There purpose is to feed all of their footage to any school the kid may have interest in or if he's chasing offers to get his stars up simply to mass feed it to everyone. Once they get those offers theirs nothing else for you to do as the assistant coach talks with the parents & the kids through the parents until they are old enough to talk direct.
#2 the only other factor with them is they ALL HAVE AN AGENDA... what's yours [MENTION=6088]Tweed[/MENTION]?
For the record, Tweed is no "handler".
He is a normal person, just like us, he has a very good day job and he doesn't need to grub a few dollars from someone less fortunate.
He has a kid who is an excellent athlete, and he happens to have coached football at the pre-high school level. Tweed has been telling anyone willing to listen about how good Lingard was going to be for 5 or 6 years now.
Sorry, but there aren't that many "insiders" here or anywhere else who have been as accurate with predictions as Tweed has been.
And there might be a lot of cynics on this board, but not every Rivals 100 kid is a duffel bags battle.
