HsbbWeb: The guru was a d2 basketball coach for 20 yrs and had success at high school level. He has a website and book available. He was blunt, saying if "Johnny or Sarah" doesn't have 75-100 letters from d-1's by sophomore year you can forget about playing where you want to play. Lots of kids/parents faces dropped-he was trying to bring reality to situation but seemed like he was dismissing d1's and telling people don't waste your time dreaming.
He also said nearly all recruiting/marketing services are a waste, then recommended one he favors and it is listed in his book and the website. Thanks for input, I agree with above comments. I think this guy was too general and tried to cover way too much in about 50 minutes.
