A friend is training 1x1 for the next two seasons because he drafted a HoF? Good, arrange a "trade-off": you sell your youngster for him (as long as it is within the rules) and he trains him for you. In the meantime - who knows, you can train other guys, you can compete or both. After the X ammount of DR and HN your trainee has - you buy him back. Both of you win.
