Ok, call me naive and out of touch, but when you hear from recruiting insiders that a player Miami has worked for a couple years (SEC bound) has a handler, what does that mean? Does that mean a coach, relative, friend? Is this handler business isolated to rare, high-profile kids or is this common stuff in South Florida?

If the kid has a handler does that mean his HS coach is a front and really out of the loop when it comes to recruiting?

What's in it for the handlers - cash, summer camp gigs, tickets, ego boost?

Any idea what local kids have or have had handlers?

Who are some active handlers?

Point is, tired of the excuses and constant whinning about kids we lost or had no legit shot at. But if this handler **** is real, let's put names out and stop this nonsense.
