I need to find students, athletes and more importantly a high school that implement these same type of recruiting methods. I would like to keep my focus on African basketball players just so I have a clear focus. Fortunately, there are many African natives that have moved to metro Atlanta and all around the country, so it shouldn’t be too hard. The question I want to answer is whether this is a anomaly or something that is common at private high schools that don’t have government and county officials looking over their shoulders.
High School football coaches:
Deion Williams- SWD DB’s coach
Fletcher Salter- SWD Head’s coach
I need to interview actual high school players that have transferred or players that have gotten their spots taken by transfers. I think their interviews will be the core of the story because it’s firsthand experience that I can’t get from any other source.
