Recruiting-101 Links of the Month

With it already well into October, that means football players from around the country are nearing the end of their season and basketball players are gearing up for the winter.  Really, it is an exciting and busy time at this point.  Looking back in September, here are a few of my favorite articles:

1.) My son outplayed a Division I football recruit. Where are his scholarship offers?

2.) Where should I post my football recruiting video highlights online?

3.) Football Recruiting Questions: Q&A with a Parent

4.) College coaches will avoid “overbearing parents” in the athletic recruiting process

5.) I am a Division I player with Division III interest. What steps should I now take in the recruiting process?

6.) Why in-state athletic recruits are vital for college coaches

7.) Would college coaches check the profiles on Facebook/Myspace of potential athletic recruits?

8.) Waiting until your senior season does not help athletic recruiting

9.) 5 years vs. 40 years and the role that academics should play in a college decision
