Recruited

I finished the book Recruited by Susanne Weyn. This story is about this kid named Kadeem and he is the best quarterback for south side high. He is always being scouted and recruited by college coachers. There are two major colleges he is focusing on and they are Teller university and Peterson university. Now Kadeem is faced with good offers from Teller but he soon finds out that all their offers and what theyve been doing is illegal in the NCAA. He really is then faced with stress and constant smothering of Teller. Kadeem is a very good player but has bad grades and thats what keeps him from Peterson. In the end he finds teller to be a bad and show off college and picks Peterson University. I personaly love this book because it puts in his shoes and makes you imagin what it would feel like. I believe Susanne Weyn wrote this book cause she maybe  felt the same way or was expireiencing the same thing as The character Kadeem. Of course the Theme is Recruiting and Football. The best character is probably Ty, Kadeems friend who is being recruited too. Ty is like a everyday kid who is funny and a person that everybody would love. He hasn't grow really he actually gets sucked into Tellers recruiting buisness and picks them. The best quote from the books is "so what are you saying" it gives you the controll to answer it and leads you to what happens next. The one question I have for this book is why isn't books like theses longer they are so good and more deatails could be added to make it a best seller.
