Recruits - transcripts verify your academics. Your film verifies your athletic ability. Camps verify your measurements and movements. Track times verify your speed. College coaches are all about verified data.

A scholarship offer is an opportunity to work harder than you ever have in your life. There is not much “free” about it. The investment of time, energy and sacrifice is extremely “expensive”. The work is unending.

I know players are in the transfer portal for different reasons. I can’t help but think so many were encouraged to take their “biggest” offer and not their “best” one. More time needs to be spent on researching the fit and not the logo.

Most college coaches are about to hit the road over the next 2 weeks. Some coaches may only be on your campus for 15 minutes so be on time & remain in school all day. I’ve told many coaches about players all through L.A. so some may be pulling up on ya!

C/O 2022 not signing on Wednesday, it’s not the end. If you are not planning to walk on somewhere it’s time to start researching your JC options. All underclassmen, you should be in grind mode. Get bigger, faster, stronger and make sure your grades are good.

The unofficial visit is a big part of the recruiting process but if you are unable to visit any schools for whatever reason, don’t be discouraged. Be in the best shape you can be on the field and in the classroom and be ready when recruiters are back on the road this spring.

Attn skill guys: I’ve been sending around film to college coaches & so many reply with “how fast is he?”. You can have good film & still have your recruitment held up behind ?’s about your speed. You can still get looks but having verified times can only help.

I asked a recruiter to eval a player to see if he fit their scheme. He replied back “He’s a good player but not what we are looking for at the position but I passed his film to another college for evaluation.” The other college has reached out to the player. We need more of this.

College recruiters will be out on the road recruiting soon. Many recruits have done all they can to improve this offseason. Others skipped school, dodged the track & weight room. What exactly do you expect your HS\JC coaches to say about you?

College camp season begins this week all over the country. Recruits, camp smart! Compete and get names of coaches that take interest in you. ‘23’s coaches can follow up with you directly. ‘24’s and under let your HS coach know so they can follow up on interest in you.

College coaches are always looking for special talents. Especially with the portal now, they are more selective than ever. If a coach has 1 spot available at your position and he can choose from HS, JC and portal, what makes you the choice?

And please ask the coach for his name, ask for his card or immediately follow him on twitter. Let your HS coach know who showed interest in you so they can follow up.
What to do AFTER camp!!
Follow up with ANY AND ALL coaches that spoke to you - if they spent time with you, even if it was just a "good job".. that could be an opportunity
Send a thank you email to the program who hosted and coaches you worked with, it will leave an impression

The $ being charged for some of these non-college coach attended camps are rising with inflation. Recruits & families have to be smart when camping. For many, times are tight. Try to camp in front of college coaches, most of those are in June.

. Stop guessing your GPA. Know your core GPA. Ask your coach or counselor. Having a semester 3.0 and a 2.4 core are very different.
Tuesday Recruiting Notes (a day late)
I had a request for more items to "do" and less items to "don't", so let me run down as many of them as I can think of to do.
1. This spring coaches get one in-person eval day. Make sure you are in school as many days as absolutely possible
