Recruiting Realities
Here are some realities:
1) College coaches rarely "discover" players.
2) It is the players responsibility to make herself known to college recruiters, by mailing letters or using recruiting services.
3) Being on a particular team, rarely gets you looked at unless you shine over everyone or YOU HAVE ALREADY CONTACTED COLLEGE RECRUITERS to come watch you play
4) If you get caught up in the name game you may miss out on a quality free education.
5) Choose a school that you can go to and PLAY
6) There is a scholarship out there for you, but no college recruiter is going to "hear" about you unless you say something. Contact recruiting realities for more info
