Recruiting Will Continue to Evolve with These Key Changes <\/strong><\/p>\n

Prospects and parents should anticipate changes in recruiting.<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n

The ever-changing world of recruiting is poised for major reforms.\u00a0 With unruly college student-athletes and coaches skirting the rules constantly\u00a0creating negative headlines, we are likely to see an upheaval from college sports’ largest and most powerful governing body, the NCAA<\/a>, which will now has ample leverage to institute groundbreaking recruiting changes.\u00a0\u00a0Moreover, with\u00a0a new NCAA president\u00a0having recently taken charge, the time is ripe\u00a0for the organization to reconstruct how its members approach, conduct\u00a0and manage recruiting.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We think that time is upon us, so we’ve gotten out our crystal ball in an\u00a0honest attempt to predict\u00a0how\u00a0this reconstructive period, coupled with improved technology, will impact recruits in the near future.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

First, we believe this New Age will establish\u00a0stricter rules and closer oversight with the goal of creating a cleaner\u00a0process with more predictable outcomes.\u00a0\u00a0Public pressure, not to mention systemic embarrassment,\u00a0will force\u00a0college presidents to throw out archaic processes\u00a0as they \u00a0\u00a0 consider\u00a0innovative solutions pointed\u00a0toward curtailing the intolerable trend of abuses by student-athletes,\u00a0ignoble coaches and overly aggressive professional\u00a0agents.<\/p>\n

For high school student-athletes, envisioning the future and taking\u00a0preparatory steps will be in their best interest as college coaches, tied down by more restrictive rules yet emboldened by advancing technologies, will alter their recruiting methods as compensation.\u00a0 This\u00a0evolution will see coaches leap head first into Cyber Recruiting, and as a result, recruiting will never be the same again.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here are some things we believe will happen in due course and what\u00a0high school\u00a0athletes should do in preparation:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
