cabbagedad posted:Lots of good info so far as usual. Know that you can also search topics here. You will want to make sure the video is done in a way that RC's will want to watch. He will want to find a good format for his letters that includes some personalization as to why he has interest in each particular school and why he would be a good fit. A lot of Calif. players go the JC route and then off to 4-yr schools in-state or elsewhere. These are just a few of the topics that can be searched here or you can ask, specific to your son's situation.
Many here are Calif based and have sent sons off both in state and away or both.
Good point with regard to personalization. Include each RC's name, don't just use a form letter and send it reading "Dear Coach". Also, include a reference to the school name and also the mascot at some point to personalize it. MAKE SURE that when you change it that you don't end up missing one or the other and mention Ohio State and Spartans 
or Washington and Bruins lol. My son only missed one when he was sending out letters so I guess that's a pretty good percentage. Also email each one individually, not as the part of a mass email message. No coach wants to see an email that was sent to him and 33 other coaches at the same time.
