ShareWith video sites like Youtube.com popping up on a daily basis, there is no doubt that getting video footage online continues to be easier. A number of recruited prep athletes in a variety of sports have taken advantage of these sites and posted their recruiting highlight videos to the sites. And while this is great, [...]
Do questionnaires from major Division I schools matter in the athletic recruiting process?
ShareWe had another great comment on an article recently written about receiving early attention from the likes of Florida State, Colorado, Michigan State, Rutgers, and a number of other colleges. The question that was asked surrounding these is do they matter much? In my opinion, it is a very good thing to get these questionnaires [...]

The importance of recruiting calls from college coaches this time of year
ShareI recently had the opportunity to speak with a recruit about the amount of college interest he has been receiving. He named a variety of big schools and some smaller ones as well throughout the area. When asking these questions to athletes, they are not exactly going to be 100% honest. I am not saying [...]

This got me thinking about all the different sizes of [...]
How do athletics help reduce the costs of college at a non-scholarship school?
ShareOne of the things that initially scare a lot of families (especially the parents) away from Division III private schools is the initial price tag. Some of these schools cost in the range of $30,000 plus and the price tag is raising every year. With 3% inflation on top of that fee, these schools are [...]
Big school or bust during the athletic recruiting process
ShareI recently had a chance to speak to a football recruit who was hoping to be able to play in college at a very high level. This athlete is a solid football player but he is someone who is more suited for the Division III/lower Division II level in college. But for whatever reason, he [...]
Why do college coaches call prospective athletic recruits?
