Answer -
Hello Ishmael,

Are you playing anywhere right now? Let me know your situation and I will try an help to find the right contacts.
Answer -
Hello Ishmael,

I am looking into contacts for you but please provide back ground of your experience. This will help in determing who to contact.  

Answer
Hi Ishmael,

I dont mean to ask you a million questions but I just want to have all the facts straight when I approach some of the people I know. There is a college coach at a community college out my way that has some ties to overseas players and he places players in college and I know has some contacts to the pros. Would you consider playing college ball or are you looking strictly at the Pros? My fax number is 805 499 8185. I will wait for your response and then I will start contacting some of the people I know. I would just give you some phone numbers to some of the college coaches I know but I am not sure of your goals and desires so I will wait for your response. Just a quick note about college....I was at a game between Gonzaga and Pepperdine last night and it was a great game to watch. A side note to the game is Kobe Bryant, Reggie Miller, Ronny Turiaf, and Devine Green were at the game plus a lot of scouts for the NBA. Just wanted you to know that there is a lot of exposure in Los Angeles no matter what level you play at. Good luck with everything and I will wait for your response. Take care!
