it's a long rambling article but scroll to pages 4-5 and read about how Will Blalock talks of the street agents
..and how those "handlers" pimped him out to the highest bidder....
which was at the time, Larry Eustachy at Iowa State..
"But when it came time to choose a college team in 2003, Blalock listened to Driscoll and went to Iowa State..
then enjoying success under Coach Larry Eustachy. Nearly a decade later, Blalock regrets the decision.
“When I was 16 or 17, I might have said he’s helping me out,” Blalock said. “But at 28, he may have hurt me more than he helped me.
I know what kind of guy he is now. He burns a lot of bridges.”
Blalock said he believed that Driscoll sold him to Iowa State...
“I don’t like to live with regret, but every now and then, I do regret going there,” Blalock said.
Blalock said he was not angry at the thought that Driscoll had made money off him as much as was angry
that the money he believed Driscoll made from steering him to Iowa State had not been shared with him and his family.
“We never got nothing from him,” Blalock said. “There were times I’d have to ask drug dealers in my neighborhood to get a plane ticket home from college.”
BTW -- the New York Times also had this story on the NCAA's selction process and how they change it to suit their predetermined desires...
