Derrick Williams just finished his Sophomore season at the University of Arizona. During the NCAA Tournament, quite a few people said that Williams was one of, if not the, best college players in America. On March 24, 2011, I looked at which agents and agencies have signed talented Arizona basketball players over the past few […]
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 […]

Today the focus is on the University of Kansas, which is currently #2 in the country. Here are some recent Kansas alum who are playing professional ball, along with their agents of record. Cole Aldrich […]
I am not a big fan of “Top __” lists. That said, it is sometimes fun to observe others’ subjective rankings of members in a profession. Kevin Baumer of Business Insider recently created his list of The 12 Most Powerful Agents In The NBA. As for his rankings (with top 3 salaried clients listed): Arn […]

A Ranking Of Sports Agents
Here is an interesting nugget that I recently found, which was originally published back in January 2010 – The Top Sports Agents That Aren’t Scott Boras. The title of the article assumes that Scott Boras is the #1 agent including all agents in all sports. Do you agree? What about the actual list? Who is […]
