Thanks for publishing this information. I think its a brilliant idea to use free social media as a recruiting tool. This is coming from a mother of a 17 year old defensivelineman senior (Kelly Mitchell #50, Oakland High) who is an awesome force to be reckoned with so says many of the coaches from the numerous camps we sent him to this summer. I just told him to start his own page on Facebook and Twitter.

Utube and the ability to send coaches immediate links to highlights brought my son, D-1 Scholarship offers……combined with high school coaches, combines and camps, and of course my sons performance…..all-district – al state…..it provide a coach the ability to evaluate and then respond……within days coaches were asking us to send DVDS to present to the staff……If used properly it is an effective tool to get your kid, if he has the potential connected with programs.

Thanks for the info. I am the mother of a rising HS junior Lacrosse player, Kevin Bennett (age 16, 6′ 4.5″, 195lbs, Goalie, Defenseman and more>>>) Looking for recruiting exposure for college Fall of 2011. Thanks for the tips on getting into the social media, which I use for my Real Estate, for the exposure of Kevin as a prospect for college scholarship (GPA 3.6). Will get on it this summer!
