ARTICLE: Athletes, Want a College Scholarship? Quit Dreaming. Get Busy.

Jack Renkens (of Recruiting Realities http://recruitingrealities.com/) said the following about the College Recruiting process:

•         Technology has changed the way coaches get to know players.  Gone are the newspaper clippings, the letters of recommendation and the DVDs. Chance are, there aren’t any scouts watching from the bleachers.  “It’s 2012!” he said.  “Pay a professional videographer the $75 fee for a digital ‘highlights reel’ and post it on the Internet.”

•         Email college coaches with no more than three lines of information, and don’t leave out the name of your current coach.

•        Consider paying about $1,500 for professional recruiting consultants who will shop your kid for four years.  One Chicago firm has 378 full time consultants working two shifts, endeavoring to match students with opportunities.
