Think one of the worst jobs in the world is being a college recruiter.
Was told a story, FWIW, by someone very, very credible.
He IS NOT a St. John's employee.
Told me that a certain young man and top recruit, who is now eligible to play at a West Coast school, has a sister who is a waitress in Manhattan. Apparently, a rep from the aforementioned school would go into the restaurant where she was working, order 2 drinks and leave a $500 tip each time. And he didn't do it 1, 2, or 3 times.
Take it for what you will, but do not find it difficult to believe, especially coming from someone with a ton of credibility.
