In Reply To: Rick is real. Many agents come across more like attorneys. Rick is the real deal. He can work a good deal for you because he understands news from being a ND. He is not just looking at how much he will make off the deal but looking at what you will gain from the move.
Message: If you don't go with Rick, I would suggest these options: Bienstock: they're the biggest by far and have the power and influence to get a dog or cat an audition just about anywhere! But, they're so full they may not take you. Lindner: West coast powerhouse. But word on the street is they only like minority candidates and/or women. Also notorious for not returning phone calls. Ed Hookstratten: Known as "the hook" this LA-based attorney only represents a select few clients, but they're big names (Paul Moyer, Brokaw, Bryant Gumbel, etc) and he has influence. BUT, he only takes people with real talent and potential. Larry Pond: Small Indianapolis-based agent, VERY similar to Gevers. Former ND with a good reputation. "IF" Management Inc: Relatively new NY-based agent group, focusing mainly on sports talent. No word yet on reputation but I'm told they're aggressive and want young talent to GROW. ***NAPOLI: In my opinion and research, among the best. They're a relatively large agent group (in LA) and have an impeccable reputation. If you can get in with them, go for it!
