I know a family that is taking has taken their kid to several of the all star middle school games. It has cost them a fortune. The kid is a good football player but these games will not increase his 40 times or help him grow 4-5" in order for him to play D-I. He works hard and plays hard and will get some assistance at some level but these All star will give him nothing than he would have gotten already. IMO of course.

He will get looks at an 8th grader that most kids do not get until they're juniors or seniors in high school. I look at is as an investment for the family. I do not like all the money changing hands and financial issues that come with it, but it is what it is. It does benefit to some extent. No one can deny that.
