![]() The person or people behind D-1 Bound have contacted families using at least eight different phone numbers and eight different names, with the most popular being some variation of “Randy Hymes” or “Coach Randy.” The person or people behind D-1 Bound have largely evaded suspicion by hiding or altering their identifying information – lingering in the shadows of a recruiting world that, especially for first-time parents, can be difficult to navigate.Īccording to Twitter data and cached pages on its website, D-1 Bound previously operated under a different name, “Slept On Recruiting,” and has changed its Twitter handle at least three times. “And he’s out here playing with these kids’ futures, taking their money.” “All these kids, they’re just trying to get a scholarship somewhere,” said Angel Lyons, who sent $1,000 to D-1 Bound in October on behalf of her son Noah, a football player. The payments, most of which were made under the guise of football recruiting help, range from $100 to $7,800.Īltogether, D-1 Bound has pocketed nearly $33,000 from the families identified by USA TODAY Sports. According to interviews, screenshots of Twitter and text message exchanges, public Venmo transactions, published articles and complaints filed with government entities, the incidents have occurred over at least four years and involve families from 11 U.S.
