Recruiting-101 July Recap

With the month of July now behind us, that means AAU hoops (At least the ones where college coaches can watch) and college football camps are over.  Football recruits all over the country are now spending their time focusing on the upcoming football season.  As for this site, there have been some great things happen.  First is that this was the biggest month in the history of the site.  Part of may have been due to some controversial comments but a ton of readers came to the site.  The second big news obviously is that I finally finished the football position-by-position recruiting e-book.  I am sure you are sick of me talking about it but for $5, you are not going to spent that money any better when seeking help during the recruiting process.  Click here for information on how to buy it.
