Loving the game that you play
Recently there was a post talking about the potential to play college basketball. What struck me as out of place regarding this post was the fact that the person said “he is not really into the basketball scene but think that it is something that he could play in college.” After having played four [...]
Two sides of a decommit in the athletic recruiting process
One of the areas that I have talked about in the recruiting process is decommitting and how it can hurt a recruiting class for college coaches. Regardless of if you are a recruit or a parent, I think with any avenue in life, it is essential that you keep your word. So if you [...]

In the recruiting process, things can change within hours. I have talked about that many times before how college coaches need to fill up their recruiting classes. They want to land the best possible athletes and that may or may not include you. It really just depends on your timing and making a decision [...]
Handling heavy athletic recruiting attention

There could be so much going on that you could get multiple calls from a variety of different schools. These schools may have never ever sent [...]
College Coaches will deadline athletic scholarship offers
As a college coach in the game of recruiting, it is important to have back up options the entire time. While in some ways this is unfair to recruits, it is the best way that these college coaches keep their high paying jobs. If they fail to bring in athletes at any level, chances [...]
Decommiting from a college athletic program
It seems that these days, recruits changing their mind about which school they attend happens all the time. The problem is that it really does. I recently talked to a college coach about a recruit who changed his mind about where he wanted to play football. The recruit ended up burning the bridge at [...]
What is the hardest part of the athletic recruiting process?
No matter how excited you are to get involved in the recruiting process, if you have a lot of schools that are interested in you, it becomes a taxing process before everything is said and done. With visits, calls, scholarship offers (Hopefully), things can become extremely stressful in a quick period.
