A key protection might be to say that an agent cannot charge for services for player /family below the age of 18. And that no contracts for future promises of work could be signed either. I'd worry about parents being exploited while trying to gain an edge for their kids.
You bring up a good point about U.S. kids. And I guess I should have thought about other sports first since they are much more prevalent. The facade they put up with football and basketball players both about the recruiting and even the payoffs while there are flimsy. So I guess at least with the current situation everything is on the up and up and not shady dealings.
