High school coaches will not go out on a limb to be honest with college coaches about their athletes
ShareI had previously assumed that the majority of high school coaches would be completely honest with college coaches trying to recruit their athletes.

My dream school hasn’t called yet during the football recruiting evaluation period. What should I do?
ShareI received an email with a question that was somewhat similar to this. The family wanted to know what to do because they had received calls from other schools but their dream school had not contacted them over the phone as of yet.

The evaluation process for football scholarship offers from the eyes of college coaches

Why is football recruiting so hotly contested? If you look at these salaries, you will understand

How do college coaches narrow down recruiting databases and eventually offer the top athletes?
ShareAs I have mentioned, some college coaching staffs begin the recruiting process with over 5,000 prospective recruits.

Schools like Nebraska, Air [...]
How do college coaches find athletes during the athletic recruiting process?
ShareTrying to answer this question really depends on each situation as well as the sport. Basketball and football are among the biggest sports at the college level but their process of finding prospective athletes is much different. Regardless of how they hear about you, it is important for you as an athlete to get your [...]
College coaches are not always confident of their evaluation skills when offering scholarships to prep athletes
ShareWhen talking about football camps during the summer months, I have mentioned the importance of going to just one day of camp at a number of different places. The reason is to save money, time, and get to more camps along the way. I have stressed this and will continue stressing this to readers simply [...]

Questions that a college coach could ask when on an athletic recruiting visit?

The role of your high school coach in the athletic recruiting process
ShareOne of the things that I have always talked about to athletes, parents, and their families is that they need to take control of the recruiting process themselves.
