Scholarships, football recruiting, college coaches, and evaluations
There is no doubt in my mind the toughest scholarship for an athlete to get is their first. The reason that I say this is because it is hard to prove to a college coach that with no other offers on the table, you are a recruit at their level. That [...]
Athletic Recruiting advice from a highly rated national recruit
Over the last two years, I have had the opportunity to interact with one of the top athletic recruits in the Class of 2011. While I am not going to say his name, I have also had the opportunity to interact with his mother as well. And despite having the ability [...]
Why academics matter more than in the past during the athletic recruiting process
I have always stressed on here that one way to really help yourself in the athletic recruiting process is by taking care of your grades. Most coaches feel that the athletes with the best grades are usually the ones that they have to worry about the least in the classroom as [...]
Playing time vs. playing for a big name school throughout the recruiting process
One of the more interesting debates that athletic recruits have to figure out on a daily basis is if they want playing time early on versus playing at a school with a big name. For example, if you were a national football recruit who lived in Texas, would you take the [...]
How young is too young throughout the athletic recruiting process?
In order to really jump into this article, I must relay a story of what a current Division I college coaching staff is doing. This staff made a name for themselves at the mid major level and went to a number of NCAA tournaments. While they never won a game there, [...]
How do you know that the college coach who recruited you will stay at the school you sign with for athletics?
The NCAA National Letter of Intent that you sign to accept a scholarship offer makes sure to include a part that talks about you are signing with the school and not the coach. I think the main reason that this is included is because when coaches leave, the school can hold [...]
The Athletic Recruiting Process is a very long journey for your entire family
One of the most stressful times in the lives of parents and their children is if they go through the athletic recruiting process. It doesn’t matter if you are a Division I recruit or someone hoping to play sports at the NAIA level, it is tough weighing out the benefits of [...]
What do I need to do to get college coaches to watch my recruiting highlight video?
I wrote yesterday about how you should not waste your time “cold sending” recruiting highlight tapes to college coaches. That is something I doubt I will ever change my stance on. But it also had a number of users asking about what they need to do to get their highlight videos in [...]
Sending out highlight videos without prior contact with the coaches is not the way to go in football recruiting
There is one major thing that you can do in recruiting to save money. It is to not send out tape unless a coach requests it. It makes me sick when recruits tell me that they send out game tape and don’t get a response. The reason is because it is not a [...]
What should you do if you get an athletic recruiting deadline by a college coach during the recruiting process?
Before going into this article, let me quickly point out what a recruiting deadline is. It can happen in football, baseball, volleyball, or any other sport but I have seen it happen most in basketball. The smaller the amount of scholarships a sport has, the more prevalent that dead lining will [...]
