Scott Boras quotes about
clubs college drafted drafting game good guarantee guys high learn pay players reason required school team teams unless
I don't think high school players should be drafted unless clubs are required to pay the guys over $5 million.

alex decision difficult heritage parents respectful trying wants
The thing I'd say about that is that if Alex is a hypocrite, then everyone who is American and has parents of different heritage and wants to be respectful of that is a hypocrite, too.
