Recruiting-101
I will talk about it more tomorrow but I again wanted to say thank you for all users you visit this site and continue to come back. You really are what continues to make this site go. Without you visiting the site and supporting our sponsors, this site would not be able to continue. For that, I again want to thank you. Please continue to do so that the site can grow and help others during the recruiting process!

Important time for football recruiting
The next few weeks are an absolutely vital time for many recruits throughout the country. These next few weeks will be just about the only chance that you can perform football drills in front of college coaches while at their camps. These coaches will make a decision if they want to offer you a scholarship, continue to evaluate you, or move on in the recruiting process during this time. The better you are prepared, the better it will be for your overall football recruiting.

Basketball camps are heating up
With most of the AAU teams throughout the country on hiatus until July, many college programs are bringing in as many top basketball players as they can for their elite camps. These camps are very important for you during the basketball recruiting process. Not only do you get a chance to showcase your skills in front of the school you attend the camp at, many other college coaches should be there and consider recruiting you as well.

Recruiting E-Book on hold
I mentioned this last week that I am putting together an E-Book for the recruiting process. Because I lost the flash drive that the word file was on, this is currently on hold. I need to either find it or just rewrite the piece that I may have misplaced.

Andy Staples - Recruiting Writer
I have a new recruiting writer that I wanted to recommend to people. His name is Andy Staples and he currently writes for SI.com. I was hoping that he actually had a main page on SI.com but I still have not yet found it. Regardless, you can click here to read his most recent article. Some have more to do with recruiting than others.

What do you want to see this week?
As always, I have a ton of story ideas but if there is anything you want to read about, please post a comment and let me know. At the very least, I will consider writing about it.
