The Big Baller Brand wants to expand, and a representative from the athletic apparel company was in Wilson this week trying to convince Coby White, a UNC signee and the top high school player in the state, to forgo college and join a basketball league the company is creating.
Alan Foster, a business partner at the company created by LaVar Ball, on Thursday visited visited White at Greenfield School in Wilson, White’s mother Bonita said.
“They were recruiting Coby not to go overseas,” Bonita White said. “They are recruiting 80 players for this particular show. The hook that they are using is you have to wait a year before you go pro, so why go to school and you have the limitations set by the NCAA?
