Bestselling sportswriter John Feinstein exposes the big money and
back-room deals that pervade college-basketball recruiting in this
fast-break young adult novel.
Terrell Jamerson is the #1 high school basketball player in the
country. His team is poised to win State, top colleges are lining up to
give him scholarships, and everyone says he could play in the NBA
tomorrow. But it only takes one false step to lose everything.
Danny Wilcox is Terrell's best friend and teammate, and a top prospect
himself, but these days it seems like everyone wants to get close to
Terrell: the sneaker guys, the money managers, the college boosters.
They show up offering fast cars, hot girls, and cold, hard cash. They
say they just want to help, but their kind of help could get Terrell
disqualified.
Danny and Terrell better keep their eyes on the ball if they hope to
last the season.
John Feinstein has been praised as "the best writer of sports books in
America today" (The Boston Globe), and he proves it again in this
fast-paced novel.
"Thorough and suspenseful; a must-read for those interested in
basketball and the dealings surrounding the sport." --Kirkus Reviews,
