The importance of patience in the athletic recruiting process for families
I recently had a chance to speak with an athlete about how the recruiting process went for him. This player ended up being recruited by schools throughout the country but was not the first in-state player is his class to get an offer. When talking to him about the scholarships, the recruit [...]

Do football scholarship offers come in the month of March? If so, what type of recruits will get them?
When thinking about this question, I do have to once again repeat what I wrote in an article last week. Out of all the months in the year, March is one of the slowest and most boring for junior football recruits.
There are a few reasons as to why this is. Most [...]
Should you inflate your height and weight to college coaches during the athletic recruiting process?
I just received a question recently asking me if most players inflate their height and weight on recruiting services like Rivals.com, Scout.com, and other sites.

If you have been following recruiting at all on the Internet at Scout, Rivals, or ESPN, there is no doubt that you have heard an athlete quoted saying something about how he received a scholarship offer. And while some may think they are the same, in reality, they are not.
What normally happens [...]
I am a junior in the football recruiting process with attention and no scholarship offers. What should I be doing in March (Part Two)?
Click here to read part one. The thing you want to get out of the coaches regarding your highlight video is feedback. If they were wowed by the tape and wanted to offer you a scholarship, chances are that it would have been done without you asking and following up. So [...]
More than one athlete on a team can play at the college level and why the better the team, the better for you
A few weeks back I got an email from an athlete talking about a teammate. His teammate has much better college potential because of his size along the offensive line and college coaches have taken notice of that. What this teammate did, in my mind, was very questionable.
He basically just emailed me [...]
I am a junior in the football recruiting process with attention and no scholarship offers. What should I be doing in March (Part One)?
The top football players in the Class of 2011 have already started to secure scholarship offers from some of the top college programs across the country. But in most cases, these are the freak athletes who will end up with multiple offers from a variety of college coaches. My guess is [...]
