Subscribe to the NCSA BlogFace to Face Recruiting
May 7th, 2009 - byAthletic recruiting is based on communication. Student-Athletes are trying to communicate to college coaches that they have the ability to play at their program. College Coaches are trying to commicate to various reliable sources to determine if the interested athlete does indeed have the potential to play in college. Once that initial hurdle has been cleared the communication steps a level. Letters turn to emails which turn to phone calls and eventually in person contact.
Indiana Coach Tom Crean has faced various recruiting restrictions over the past year and is itching to finally talk to some recruits face to face.
“Phones get old,” Crean said. “E-mails get old. You have to get that face-to-face contact. We’re looking forward to that.”
That is why NCSA encourages athletes to start the recruiting process as early as possible. Once a recruit has established interest thay can start taking meaningful unofficial visits as early as freshman year! We also work dilligently help our athletes prepare to ensure that once that face to meeting takes place they are succesful.
