ShareI recently had the opportunity to speak with a recruit about the amount of college interest he has been receiving.

The difficulty of college coaches recruiting when they are on the hot seat
ShareNo matter what the National Letter of Intent states, coaches are a rather large factor into which school you will be attending college at.
