Will unofficial visits help me in the athletic recruiting process?
ShareOne question that I surprisingly get asked often about the athletic recruiting process is related to unofficial visits.

Money is a huge issue during the athletic recruiting process. What should I do?
ShareI have talked about this frequently over the last few months so there is little doubt that the economy has put families in a pinch over the last year. This may include family members being laid off or having to find new jobs. So when money is tight within a family, there is no doubt [...]
How the little things matter in the recruiting process and the battle for an athletic scholarship
ShareI have harped for quite sometime about how college coaches do a great job narrowing down their recruiting databases and eventually finding recruits that can fit their system.

I’m a sophomore/freshman with football recruiting interest. What do I do?
ShareIf it is that early in the recruiting process, schools can only have limited contact with you. By NCAA rules, they can only send you a questionnaire and camp invites. Obviously with the numbers game at the summer camps, they would love to bring you on campus. That doesn’t matter if you will be the [...]

The five things that you really should think about regarding a future college
