Reply to "How to get recruited on a shoestring budget?"

Regarding videos... We get thousands of them every year. I have a suggestion.

Have someone that has lots of knowledge watch the video and tell you what they think before sending it out to colleges. Especially do this if you are not totally secure about what college coaches want to see.

I have seen videos that make me think the player is very talented. I've seen videos that don't show me how good or bad a player is. And I've seen videos that make me think the player has no talent. So obviously it is a waste of time sending anything that can't possibly create any interest. In fact, I watched one 15 minute video that came with a notebook full of statistics and more information than anyone would ever need. The music in the video was great, outstanding production, unfortunately it just proved that the player lacked talent. There is no sense in going to all this trouble unless there is something in there that will impress people who see lots of player videos.
