A lot of "talking heads" put on a good show, but only a few people are genuine college scouts that know the rules and can explain them accurately.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Here’s the problem – too much info from unreliable sources.\u00a0 In college, athletic recruiting, hearsay is the bane of many families wanting desperately to get their athlete in a good position to be seen and recruited by college coaches.\u00a0 What they hear on the tube is often watered down and only applicable to the highest level of NCAA athletics.\u00a0 But\u00a0the recruiting rules that relate to the “blue chip” athletes do not always, and usually don’t, apply to athletes that will be recruited to play in Division II or III.<\/p>\n

So, where can a family get reliable info?\u00a0 Experts, of course, but\u00a0there are so many talking heads out there, many of whom are more interested in hearing themselves talk than giving accurate info, which ones can\u00a0families really depend upon to be spot-on\u00a0with their advice?<\/p>\n

Go to\u00a0people that work\u00a0in recruiting full time.\u00a0\u00a0Dabblers don’t count, so steer clear of anyone that seems to know\u00a0a\u00a0little, but can’t give you the details which make a real difference.\u00a0\u00a0When you are\u00a0doing this vital due diligence, ask these questions and the\u00a0person with a true grasp of recruiting will surface:<\/p>\n
