ShareOne 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 [...]
ShareIf you are a sought after recruit, one thing that you must get used to is the fact that you will be getting visits from college coaches very often. These coaches will mostly be coming to your high school but they may also see you in action at one of your games or come to [...]
ShareWith less than a month to go before Signing Day 2012 hits, one thing that I heard more than I expected during late December and early January is about how senior football recruits are still open and don’t have any favorites. This happens for two reasons. The first is the athlete doesn’t really want to [...]

ShareWhile seniors are finishing up the recruiting process and trying to figure out where they will be playing in college, for those juniors out there, many are wondering what exactly they should be doing at this point in the recruiting process.
