On Why The Recruiting Process is so CRAZY
From my experiences in talking with parents, watching and recruiting players from all across the
nation, and dealing with professional players and agents, we know there is not an exact science to the
recruiting process. However, the process will never change.
HOW THE RECRUITING PROCESS REALLY WORKS: Talent will always drive the position of power.
The more skill a player has, which is developed into talent, and then displayed during performance …
the more leverage the player will have during the recruiting process. This will never change and only
the athlete can control this. The #1 focus of all high school players should be to get evaluated by a
professional scout, college coach, or non-biased individual who can accurately classify both the
“present” and “future” talent level of the player. The player and parent should then fully accept the
evaluation and seek to search, find and evaluate programs that align in talent level. The recruiting
process is always a two-way street.
Now, there will always be “filters” that will determine if a school is a possibility, like cost of tuition,
distance from home, academic requirement of a school, etc. But make no mistake, the recruiting
process will always be determined by the skill, talent, and performance talent of the athlete.
Every time someone learns of my background, I’m asked if I can help them with getting their son a
scholarship to play college ball. I always respond with a resounding NO … and I quickly add that no
one else can either. Not his summer or high school coach, and definitely not some 3rd party recruiting
service. I tell them that the only person who can help your son is your son himself! And I always tell
them to find a Bamboo program … Watch this video to learn about what a Bamboo program is!
See, my experiences have enabled me
to serve the next generation of student-
athletes through data and technology.
But it always starts with an education of
the college recruiting process. I warn
athletes, like Johnny, to BE READY and
gain exposure by performing at a high
level in showcases, tournaments and
games.
We are determined to pave the road
forward and help Johnny (and your son)
be empowered with the data to choose
the right program for them.
We are focused on helping recruitable athletes and parents know the complete truth about college
sport programs so they can leverage their talent and increase scholarship opportunities. That’s our
mission and the driving force behind the first-and only college recruiting intelligence platform called
RecruitsIQ. We are merging bid data with the college recruiting process.
