High school coaches will not go out on a limb to be honest with college coaches about their athletes
I had previously assumed that the majority of high school coaches would be completely honest with college coaches trying to recruit their athletes. These prep coaches would tell their potential future coaches if a kid works hard, is lazy, or is known for his partying with friends.
But in talking to a [...]
My dream school hasn’t called yet during the football recruiting evaluation period. What should I do?
I 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 athlete was already starting to get mad about [...]
The evaluation process for football scholarship offers from the eyes of college coaches

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

Schools like Nebraska, [...]
How do college coaches find athletes during the athletic recruiting process?
Trying 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
When 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 [...]
The five most important attributes college coaches look for in potential athletes
College coaches may confuse parents during the athletic recruiting process but what they are looking for can be boiled down to a few simple things. They may seem rather mundane but have these five attributes can be the difference from you playing at USC or the local junior college. It could [...]
Questions that a college coach could ask when on an athletic recruiting visit?
While there are a lot of different topics that can be talked about this time of year, I recently received an interesting email from a parent who was looking for help in the recruiting process. While this site does focus on football and basketball, her son plays a completely different sport [...]
The role of your high school coach in the athletic recruiting process
One 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. When they starting learning more about to get their son or daughter recruited and do it themselves, it is a great relief for [...]
