I doubt any of this happens on campus. 'Runners' don't want to be seen, especially if they're handing out cash.
As I posted a few months ago, a local AAU coach was filling me in about how a certain HOF coach from a Big12 school came to town to recruit a City League player...coach told the AAU coach to tell the player to go out to the parking lot and there would be an envelop in a large SUV for him. No promises...just an envelop. the Coaches come to town to watch the kids play then leave without so much as a handshake with them. That's how this sh*t goes down. The less witnesses, the better. And head coaches don't do the dirty work, they just want to be seen by the player. Nor do most agents, which is why they have runners. Separation is a good thing. Putting the agent and the kid together will be easier than putting the agent, kid and head coach together.
