ShareA while back there was a comment on Recruiting-101 talking about the potential to play college basketball. What struck me as out of place regarding this post was the fact that the person said “he is not really into the basketball scene but think that it is something that he could play in college.” After [...]
ShareWhile I do not have kids, I do know that parents think that their kids are the best at whatever they do. It may be in school or sports but they always feel that the son or daughter they raised is the best in whatever they do. My parents felt that way even as I [...]
ShareLike a few of the other series of articles that I have started, I plan to break down what I would recommend to high school athletes in different situations.

This happens for two reasons. The first is the athlete doesn’t really want to [...]
ShareIt doesn’t matter what sport it is but a change in coaching will have an overall impact on the recruiting process at that given school. And unless they have already named a coach-in-waiting (which Florida State and Texas have done), then that impact will be something that is negative to the current crop of recruits [...]
