One of the biggest myths in the world of recruiting is that just because you play at a small school, chances are low that college coaches will give you a scholarship just because of your competition. But considering that the majority of scholarships seem to be handed out to players from large school, is this [...]
One of the reasons that I pose questions on the weekends to users is to get feedback regarding what they want to see on the site. That was the case last weekend and I have already received some good responses on what users want to see. If you do have any other suggestions, feel free [...]
With Signing Day 2012 nearly here, that means a number of the top football players across the country will be getting a chance to sign a Letter of Intent with the school they expect to play for over the next four or five years. But with many athletes still in the midst of the recruiting [...]
One of the areas that I discussed in the article about taking all five of your official visits is if you should make your college decision based on the offers you currently have or roll the dice by hoping that another school will extend you a scholarship. But what should you do if the school [...]

For example, as I mentioned a few weeks back, a linebacker who had committed to South Carolina had his scholarship offered pulled when [...]
If you are a senior in the football recruiting process or other sports for that matter, my hope for you is that you are holding at least one scholarship offer. Obviously this will not be the case for everyone in their final year of high school but having that offer on the table definitely will [...]
