Zia2021 posted:So here’s my dilemma. Maybe someone will have some advice. When should he start reaching out to coaches? His speed is his only measurable that’s where it needs to be. He’s got a 6.6 60, but his OF velo is 75 and exit velo 80. He got off track from training the past year and was already the youngest in his class. So he’s got some ground to make up this fall. I’m worried that if he sends those measurables out it will look bad. Thinking maybe he should wait 2-3 months (right before winter camps) to contact them when his measurables are hopefully a little better.
Zia, your son and my son are very similar! He has gone ahead and started to reach out to coaches, highlighting his positives. My son knows he needs to get bigger and stronger, and he will work on that over the fall and winter. The goal is to get on their radar with the 60 time (and any other good things) and hopefully by next summer, his other less than D1 measurables will be a little more in line with his speed.
