I think the college coach is more apt to speak to the respected travel team coaches about the kids they are interested in because the respected travel team coaches have their finger on the pulse of the player.
TR, you probably should have added that college coaches are just as apt to contact the high school coaches. There are many reputable HS coaches who often do just as good or a better job of helping than do the travel team coaches.
TR.....you are right about how many of those profiles coaches get......a staff can't really spend time looking at all that come in the mail each day. I have been there, and I used to have my student workers go through them and keep the ones that I could possibly see play without traveling more than a few hours one way. Then I would look at the kept ones to see if I knew their coaches or somebody else who may know about them.
