When I come across a young man making big moves in this industry that has very high barriers to entry, I have to give him props. Yesterday, Darren Rovell tweeted, Sam Duvall, a 26-year old agent who has never felt so many vibrations from his Blackberry in his life, is the Vice President of Tennis […]

CAA was followed by Maximum Sports (5), and Octagon, BEST, FAME, and ProFiles Sports (all with 2 clients selected). Having 6 first rounders would be cause for celebration […]
