    2022's There is no instant recruiting No one's soph film is good enough Everyone has good Jr highlights those are only part of eval The key is your determination to develop show passion/energy for that process document your progress through phases and you will get recruited

    As summer football camps are starting to be cancelled, prospects have asked what do I do now to help recruiting? If you are part of the majority of players that dont have their ideal school's early offer, then focus on preparation and put together dominant Sr film.

    2020 Prospects some advice 1) don't ask a coach to watch your highlight before you fill out their questionnaire 2) videos of you squatting are more impressive then pics of recruiting letters 3) don't spend alot of money traveling for Jr Days, summer camps are more important

    2022's, for most, recruiting will be a marathon not a sprint. Be diligent, but relax. Coaches are still working with 21's to solidify their class before you. Meaningful communication will come soon enough. For now, focus on researching schools and getting a little better daily

    2020 Prospects Some Advice Stay Humble Despite the compliments, rhetoric, hype... of recruiting, you are merely at the starting line of a marathon. You must stay on your grind to 1) Become a more dominant HS Student athlete 2) Excel in college vs men that were you 4yrs ago
