High school coaches will not go out on a limb to be honest with college coaches about their athletes
I had previously assumed that the majority of high school coaches would be completely honest with college coaches trying to recruit their athletes. These prep coaches would tell their potential future coaches if a kid works hard, is lazy, or is known for his partying with friends.
But in talking to a [...]
How AAU basketball is the way to help yourself during the basketball recruiting process and land a scholarship offer
There is no doubt that the NCAA shutting down college basketball coaches able to go to spring AAU tournaments does not help basketball recruits throughout the country from adding to their scholarship lists.

The problem with coaches/parents controlling the entire athletic recruiting process
There is no doubt in my mind that I feel having parents and coaches involved in the athletic recruiting process, regardless of the sport, is vital overall. Regardless if you are a parent, a coach, or even an athlete reading this, your coach and parents are an important part of your [...]
I didn’t expect to have a great junior season in my favorite sport and now I am behind in the recruiting process. What should I do?
I recently had an opportunity to talk to a football recruit who is currently a junior. This athlete was refreshingly honest with me about the entire recruiting process and what he had been going through. He told me that he had not been invited to any Junior Days and mentioned the [...]

That is why it is always important to show interest to sophomores and even sometimes freshmen if they are good enough. While few receive scholarships that early [...]

As I have mentioned here in just about every article written, it is essential in the recruiting process to consider all of your options. And while you may have grown up with Division I eyes, it may be time to consider other options. They may essentially be back up options but [...]
Most quarterback recruits don’t get offered until summer football camps? What? Really?
I recently had the chance to read an article on an aspiring Division I football recruit. This player has spent the last two seasons starting at quarterback on the varsity level. He has also put up All State type numbers throughout the last two years and has attention of college coaches [...]
Summer football recruiting camps are rapidly approaching. What should I be doing to prepare for them?
I hate to say this to football recruits reading this throughout the country but these upcoming camps at the end of May, June, and July really can make or break the recruiting process for you. The reason why I hate saying this is simply because many athletes who dream to play [...]
If I shouldn’t pay for a recruiting service to help, why should I pay to get a recruiting highlight video to be produced?
