Hey, I’m just wondering how this works? They re-sell cars and obtain venture capital on the net. It’s crazywhat interest rates they offer?!!! Like 14% monthly or so. Is that possible? Any experience with that? It sounds like fund income.

Comment on Ask Coach Taylor – Why Would a High School Coach Hold Back Letters? by FBmom

So heartbreaking and true. We’d heard rumors that our Coach held letters and interferred/ruined opportunities for players. When boys on our team started going as guests to the PAC 10 colleges in our home state, I had to wonder, “why hasn’t anyone invited my son.” He was a state champ tackle and a pre-season pick for all-state. I had him go lookin’ for that letter. A girl he knows at school told him she saw an orange envelope show up for him. That’s Beavers. At first he was told there was no letter. Then about 2 weeks later, it suddenly showed up. By then, he’d missed several opportunities to go as a guest. Found out by calling that he’d also been invited by the Ducks to attend games. We never got that invite. Hmmm? Just as well cause they were only offering walk-on opportunities, and maybe the Coach knew that.

My son did get a full ride scholarship because of diligence (obsessive promotion on my part) and use of NCSA. Truly, I was sittin’ right here when an email came through from NCSA notifying me of a D1AA looking for tackles. I was on the phone so fast. And true, you need to be talking to several, several colleges. At the height of it all. I was talking to about 30. And they most certainly would have preferred talking to my son. But that would not have been possible, because managing 30 contacts/promoting weekly, searching daily…was a full time job. It paid off big time. I would tell them up front: “I got no money. We need money.” I had a few selling points that I punched every time. It kills my heart when I read about players in our area, talanted young men who got nothin’. It just makes me want to cry. Good luck.

Robert – To have access to the NCSA Recruit-Match database a student-athlete has to be qualified. To determine if that student-athlete is qualified, they need to meet with a national scout. To set that up, call 866-579-6272. The Recruit-Match database contains updated information based on NCSA’s experience working with thousands of student-athletes and interviews with thousands of college coaches. The actual match will allow the student-athlete to target the best colleges based on her/his academic & athletic accomplishments, preferences, desired majors, etc. How much is that information worth?

For most sports, DI coaches can reply or initiate emails/letters on or after Sept. 1st of the prospects junior year. Before this date they can only receive admission information, camp information and questionnaires.

For most sports, DI coaches can return a call or initiate a call on or after July 1st after the prospects junior year.

For all sports, DII coaches can reply or initiate emails/letters on or after Sept. 1st of the prospects junior year. Before this date they can only receive admission information, camp information and questionnaires.

For all sports, DII coaches can return a call or initiate a call on or after June 15th after the prospects junior year.

For all sports, DIII and NAIA coaches can respond to a prospects email opening day of classes of 9th grade. This also means that starting the first day of high school, DIII and NAIA coaches can send you an email, letter, they can call you and return your call.
