If you really are next in line for a football scholarship college coaches will…………..

I have talked a great deal about the football recruiting process and college coaches always seem to talk about how athletes are next in line for a scholarship.  What I have unfortunately found in a good number of cases is that these coaches are usually just making sure they have enough recruits [...]

Five Keys to a Football Recruiting Scholarship Offer

The football recruits out there reading this know that the 2009 season is about as important as it comes.  It doesn’t matter if you are a senior in your final year on the prep football field or a sophomore ready to take your first snaps at the varsity level.  This is the [...]

The old saying scholarship offers breed other scholarship offers is still something that I feel strongly about.  College coaches, no matter what sport, will evaluate a prospect much longer knowing that they have a scholarship offer on the table from a rival school than one without.  The reason is simply [...]

Marketing scholarship offers during the athletic recruiting process

We recently had a comment from a parent who sits in a very desirable situation.  Even though his son is just entering his junior year of high school, he already holds two early scholarship offers.  What that means is his son has already gotten off to a great start in the [...]
