Boatright, now a freshman at East Aurora High outside Chicago, is the face of the latest alarming trend in the often shady game of college-sports recruiting: coaches offering scholarships to athletes very early in their schoolboy (and schoolgirl) careers. It requires teens to make a critical decision before they even grasp geometry. "It's one big circus," says Dave...
