Boras Corp. And Legacy Sports Boast Strong 2010/11 Offseasons

Last week, MLBTradeRumors.com speculated as to which baseball agency had the biggest offseason, which Tim Dierkes defined as the period between October 1, 2010 – April 30, 2011.  Adrian Gonzalez signed a mega-contract worth $154 million, and over the past couple of weeks, he has been earning every penny of that deal (while destroying me […]

On To The Next One: Jason Heyward

Over the past few years, Career Sports Entertainment, re-branded as CSE, has seemed to focus less on the representation of athletes with regards to their contractual negotiations, and more on assisting major brands in their sponsorship initiatives, aiding television networks with content and production, and providing full service support to sports properties.  However, the company’s […]

Kemba Walker Signs With Excel Sports For Representation

As I wrote on March 20, 2011, Jeff Schwartz is keyed in at Connecticut.  At the time, my money was on Kemba Walker signing with Schwartz.  It’s too bad that no one offered to bet against me.  Kemba Walker has made it official that he will be leaving Connecticut a year early and has signed […]

Agent Selection Scenarios: Arizona Basketball

At 9:45 p.m. EST, the Arizona Wildcats will take one the #1 seeded Duke Blue Devils (who I happen to have winning the entire NCAA Tournament).  The Wildcats are no push over, though.  In fact, the team has one of the best players in the nation with Sophomore Derrick Williams.  The kid can flat out […]

Agent Selection Scenarios: Wisconsin Basketball

I had Belmont beating Wisconsin in the first round of the Tournament (technically the 2nd round since there are now 4 play-in games).  I did not have much faith in this year’s Badgers squad, but they proved me wrong, punching in their ticket for the Sweet 16.  The Badgers have not had much success placing […]

Agent Selection Scenarios: Connecticut Basketball

Jimmer Fredette is to BYU as Kemba Walker is to the University of Connecticut.  UConn has advanced to the Sweet 16 and fans should be thanking Kemba for the 33 points he contributed to the team in its battle against the University of Cincinnati on Saturday night.  Next up for UConn is San Diego State […]

Agent Selection Scenarios: San Diego State Basketball

The San Diego State Aztecs are not an NCAA Basketball powerhouse.  Needless to say, SDSU cannot brag about having a bunch of former players make it to the NBA.  In fact, hardly any SDSU alumni have played professionally, even excluding the NBA.  But let’s give some love to the #2 seed in the West Region.

Agent Selection Scenarios: North Carolina Basketball

The University of North Carolina Chapel Hill is back in the ACC Championship game, facing a familiar foe in Duke (the team we covered just yesterday).  I will certainly be switching over to that game when there are breaks in the Florida Gators vs. Kentucky Wildcats match-up for the SEC Championship.  Much like Duke, North […]
