I dont know if it was Waddle or not but a lot of these kids are not bad kids just misguided by street agents. 

If the Willie Lyles rumors are true then most of the blame should go to Willie Lyles.

The Houston recruit Jackson (if I remember correctly) who signed with FSU had a handler too.  

Some of these guys are just looking to make some cash by taking advantage of kids.
