Coaches telling athletes to focus on playing and not worry about the athletic recruiting process are not trying to help you

Scholarships, football recruiting, college coaches, and evaluations

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, [...]
