Recruiting Reality Check

June 8th, 2009 - by Keith Babb

I’m always amazed at what people’s definition of recruiting is.  Some think they are getting lots of interest when in fact they are among thousands on a college coach’s mailing list.   Below is a list of check points to see where you are.  If you’re a 2010 student-athlete and you’re not at a 4, 3, 2, or 1, you’re behind your peers.  If you’re a 2011 graduate and you’re not at a 7, you’re behind your peers.  If you’re a 2012 grad and you are not at a 10, you’re behind your peers.  If you wish to catch up, click here.

YOU means the student-athlete, not the HS coach or club coach.

  1. Have YOU received a full or partial scholarship or grant & aid offer in writing from your dream school?
  2.  Have YOU received a full or partial scholarship or grant & aid offer in writing from any school?
  3. Have YOU received a full or partial scholarship or grant & aid offer made verbally from any school?
  4. Have YOU been offered or taken an official visit?
  5. Have YOU received a video and/or transcript request from a college coach?
  6. Have YOU received phone calls from college coaches?
  7. Have YOU been offered or taken un-official visits? 
  8. Do YOU receive personal, handwritten letters from college head coaches on a regular basis?
  9. Do YOU receive emails from college coaches on a regular basis?
  10. Have YOU received questionnaires or camp information from college coaches?
