Foul Trouble - John Feinstein

This is a book about college recruiting in basketball. The two main characters, Danny and Terrell are both top college prospects. They are treated like kings. Everybody wants to just "help out," but really they are just trying to get a piece of the next great player. Agents, shoe companies, money managers, college recruiters and anybody you can imagine swarm around them. Even people who they think as friends are really just trying to get them to go to a certain college or wear their brand of shoe. Everybody is offering them large sums of money, gear and sometimes even cars or houses. Almost all of the buzzing people around Danny and Terrell are breaking a rule of some kind. Danny and Terrell seem to be living the dream, but they wouldn't say so themselves.

  2. I am not a huge basketball fan, but it sounds interesting regardless. I have the same question as Lena: Is it based on a true story? Nice blog!
