Athletic Scholarship Advice for HS & JuCo Athletes
#1 – LET YOUR RECRUITING COACH KNOW THAT YOU ARE COMING AND WOULD LIKE AN EVALUATION: Call the camp office (the phone number should be on the brochure) a couple days before you go and tell the person who answers the telephone your name, position and high school. Ask which coach recruits your area or position. Write down their name …
A: No, not really. My advice: never pay a recruiting service to send your information to universities, especially larger Division I schools.
