Time versus money in the athletic recruiting process
There are two people that this article does not pertain to at all. It is those who already have impressed coaches enough at college camps that they already have scholarships on the table.

Does making an Official Visit mean you will get a scholarship offer in the athletic recruiting process?
When looking at the article Level of Recruiting Interest from College Coaches, the top three levels that a college coach can show a prospective recruit is a written offer, a verbal offer, and an official visit. With two of the three hopefully being able to pay for a large portion [...]

What is the difference between a athletic recruit who has verballed or signed with a college program?
As I was updating the athletic recruiting definitions page, two terms that I felt needed on that list were a verbal commitment and a player who is signed. For those who have visited this site frequently, you may think this is an article that you know everything about but it really [...]
