re: How do these recruits families pay to go to IMG?

Those rates are to keep people who aren't major players out. Rich mediocre kids will pay those prices in full but I've seen private schools whipe tuition clean for good players in sure this isn't an exception.

I don't know the Moses family from a hole in the wall, but after seeing what my friends son was offered to go to IMG one thing I can just about guarantee is that Dylan Moses isn't paying a dime to go to IMG.

I've had a few discussions here and there, trying to get an idea what to do if my boy ends up trending upward between now and the end of his sophomore year. The school we're at - well he'd get much much better training through IMG. They've got HUGE scholarships for the great kids, decent scholarships to fill in the holes too. Like many others have said - Millionaire families putting their kids through golf, tennis, etc etc are what fund these scholarships. I'd love my boy to go there for a year or two, but ain't no way I'm paying.

As a parent, here's my thing - they do focus on schoolwork and education, but because you're living in a dorm-like environment similar to college - the classwork is structured around your training. This maximizes your ability to be successful on the field and in the classroom. My particular knucklehead child would do great with that type of structure. However, everything said and done - don't believe you'll ever have me come back and say "this is what my son is doing at IMG today, and his teammates are talking about going to this school or that school." Maybe he gets there, but I'll take being a great player in position any day and keep working to try to be the best.
