ShareMy guess is that those athletes and parents who read this site are not doing so in order to be able to get a chance to play their sport of choice at a Division III program. It just doesn’t work that way and it probably never will. The goal obviously is to do everything that [...]
ShareOne of the things that I hope to break down in the next few weeks is to give readers a better feel for the difference between all levels of post high school options. This includes Division I, II, III, NAIA, Junior College, and Prep Schools. While there are other options that you can choose, these [...]
ShareI recently received a very interesting email regarding the football recruiting process. The parent had a question about a scenario that could easily happen to any college program. The situation is that the school is only wanting to bring in one tight end during the recruiting class of 2010. This certain school feels that they [...]
ShareIn one of the most interesting comments that this site has seen in previous weeks, someone wondered about how the athletic recruiting process worked when a school receives a commitment from a similar player in the same class. Here is what the comment said: “My question is about people in my class committing early. If [...]
ShareI have harped for quite sometime about how college coaches do a great job narrowing down their recruiting databases and eventually finding recruits that can fit their system.

Schools like Nebraska, Air [...]
ShareRight before Signing Day, there was a national outcry regarding the University of Nebraska pulling the scholarship offer for linebacker Shawn Bodtmann. This senior had ended the football recruiting process all the way back in April while attending a Spring Game on campus. So basically for ten months, this athlete assumed that his recruiting was [...]
ShareOne of the things that I always try to stress time and time again is how important it is to keep learning and throughout the athletic recruiting process (especially during the football recruiting process). Even for someone like myself who has followed football recruiting for quite sometime, I always try to learn as much as [...]
ShareA few weeks back, I was writing on a different website about how a talented football recruit was receiving Division I attention from a number of schools throughout the country. This was a player who has testing numbers off of the chart and has had a decent amount of success on the football field as [...]
ShareGoing into the recruiting process, some parents may think that each and every year, colleges have the same amount of scholarships to offer. While all schools at the Division I level have an equal scholarship amount, it doesn’t mean that these schools have the same scholarships to offer on a yearly basis. For football, Division [...]
