Talk about a hard sell. We got the call from Dukes (like I’m sure everyone else has). He was pressing hard, saying they check report cards and that we should be honored that Dukes wants our son to play with them. He also said that roster numbers are fluid and one day your above the “travel line”, the next day you’re not. If you don’t go to all the mini camps, your sons spot on the depth chart is at risk. The whole time he kept saying “it’s not for everybody”, over and over or that his model of ranking kids doesn’t fit every player, sound familiar?
Dukes preys on a parents ego, telling them what they want to hear in order to get their $$$$. I’m surprised any parent would actually fall for this. But you know what they say, a fool and his money are easily parted.
