Fantastic article. Way too much coincidence for there to be no connection at all. But its legal right now per the rules, so no harm done.
What I find funny is how few Canary players have had an impact in college, yet money is being spent above what the trips would otherwise cost.
Seems the ROI has been quite terrible, besides one player.
Khadeem Lattin spent a year or two at the academy in Grand Canary when he was in high school. I remember reading about how risky it was since he basically dropped off the map for recruiting, but he and his mom really wanted him to go for both basketball and maturity growth. He came back to the US for his last year of high school though. I mention him because he is the only player I can think of who has had an impact in college basketball who attended the Canary academy.
