How to Walk On to a Division I Football Team
Recruiting 101 has a nice article about some things football players can do if they aren’t being recruited but really want to walk-on to a Division I school. One of these tips is to send your recruiting profile and highlight video to the coach before signing day. You can easily do this if you have a free profile on PrepChamps and you know the coach’s email address. If not, then you can upgrade to a premium account ($9.99/month) and receive access to our database with over 25k coach names and contact information.
Empire Games Now Charging Players to Play
The annual Empire Games in New York that give lacrosse recruits a chance to showcase their talents are no longer free. Players who want to participate must pay $285/each. It will be interesting to see whether or not this affects the quality of talent and reputation of this event.
Developing a Personal Recruiting Inventory
Great article from Tom Kovic, who blogs for InsideLacrosse.com. The article discusses the fact that while student-athletes may have different sports and recruiting goals, there are a few common factors and things to think about when making plans for college.
Tighter Budgets Affect College Sports Recruiting
“The economy has affected college sports programs across the nation, and recruiting is another area that is starting to be touched by tightening budgets of universities and the prospects they are seeking.” Read the rest of this interesting article from the New York Times.
Recent Athlete Commitments from PrepChamps
It’s been a great few days for some of our athletes. Recently committed athletes include Brandon Mitchell (Arkansas), Robbie Godhigh (Wofford), Keivon Gamble (SMU) and Devon Hodges (Wisconsin). Congratulations!!
Early Signing Period for Football?
Bama Sports Report takes a look at the American Football Coaches Association’s proposal for an early signing period for football recruits, similar to what we have for basketball recruits. However, unlike basketball, whose early signing period is before an athlete’s senior season, the AFCA has proposed the football early signing period to be during the football season. Sports Illustrated’s Andy Staples says this is a step in the right direction. What do you think?
Derrick Favors Commits to Georgia Tech
Derrick Favors, who is the country’s top senior basketball prospect in a few publications, announced his commitment to Georgia Tech on Wednesday night.
You’re In 7th Grade, You’re a Prospect
KansasCity.com has the scoop on a new rule by the NCAA which classifies seventh and eighth grade basketball players as prospects, in order to limit coaches’ access to them and treat them like ninth through twelfth graders.
