Zeke’s Tryout (5)

Mrs. Atkins lips thinned before speaking. "Yes, we'll be waiting for him here. What did you want to talk to him about?"

"Just about the draft process and what he can expect from me for the next few months leading up to the draft. You all probably know that I'm not the only scout here." Willie looked around to emphasize the fact that others were still here even though the practice was already over. "A lot of us would like to know which way he's leaning to. I, for one, was very surprised when I heard about him making an official college visit. Definitely made some GMs a little nervous. No one wants to waste a pick on a player not even playing."

"GM?" I repeated the two letters.

"General Manager." Noah told me. "They basically pick the players from the draft with help from their scouting team and other executives."

"Like we said, we want Zeke to use up all five visits." Mr. Atkins stated, firm on that decision.
