Missouri State Coach Telling What He Looks For: Character, Ability & In Your Email To Him & More!
Please check out this Dec 2015 video interview with the current Missouri State Head Coach, half way through the video he gets into detail about his recruiting views. I thought this would be helpful to all of us with kids that desire to play in college. The recent posts about when to initiate contact and what to include in emails, and what is important to him, how he recruits, how far away he recruits and why. He covers a lot. I just watched it and I think it's a...

NCAA Eligibility Center and Institutional Request List (IRL)
Over the weekend the NCAA Eligibility Center requested transcripts and ACT scores for my son. Their website states that certification does not start until an NCAA school request it. Does this mean that a college/university is interested in him and have put him on their Institutional Request List (IRL)? Also, is it possible to find out what college/university made the request, if that is the case?

Wesley, As a 16 year old, you have a good base to work with. I would recommend three things immediately: 1. Lose the Knee Savers. This should allow you to get lower in your stance. Also along that line...get more flexible in your hip flexors. Take a yoga class. You have a pretty good sized frame and you will need to present a low target at times. Flexibility is very important. 2. Find a long toss or arm strengthening/stabilizing program. We use Jamie Evans' Velo-City (...

I have had 5 players play for Coach Gutin. He is a very good coach and every player that I have had play for him has nothing but the best things to say about him. I'd pay attention to his advice.

I don't think that is the case. What they seem to be telling you is the certification process really doesn't start until there is a NCAA school looking for certification for a player. I don't remember this when my son went through the process. My son played JuCO (NJCAA) for two years so the NCAA certification was not required. When he did get an offer from a NCAA D2 university, it was then the coach told us to start the process and we had to forward his id# to him.

Re: NCAA Eligibility Center and Institutional Request List (IRL)
FoxDad is correct. The Eligibility Center sends out their task list items for recruits to submit transcripts and test scores, but won't actually "pull the file" and review it until a recruit's name is submitted by a university on their IRL.

Re: NCAA Eligibility Center and Institutional Request List (IRL)
Related, when does a school ask for the ID? When they make the verbal offer or when they send the NLI? It would seem to make sense that they ask for it before the NLI. But, when? Summer after junior year?

Re: NCAA Eligibility Center and Institutional Request List (IRL)
I think sons coach asked for it early on, when we started the process (he committed the summer between So and Jr year of HS). Maybe Rick will pipe back in, but I think we had to update the Eligibility Center with grades/classes/transcripts several times....possibly when we started the process and again after all classes and grades were completed. Every coach is probably different in when they ask, however. The advise given to us was to get the eligibility process started early, so you have...

While "Early Academic Qualifier" may give coaches and schools warm fuzzies, a final transcript is still required to receive the final certification. I'm sure this is needed to establish GPA/minimum test score eligibility and requirements.
Reply
Re: NCAA Eligibility Center and Institutional Request List (IRL)
Normally this is done when registering for the ACT/SAT. The applicant can select X number of schools to have the test scores sent to including the NCAA Eligibility Center. If for whatever reason this is not done initially, the applicant can request the scores be sent to additional schools and the NCAA Eligibility Center, but there may be an additional fee. Since my son did not request his scores be sent to the NCAA when he initially took the tests, we were charged a fee ($75?) to have his...

The April 1st date of senior year only applies to a recruit's Amateurism status. As I mentioned in my earlier post, it's possible to have Academic status certified after the junior year for high academic achievers who have taken lots of college prep courses in the first 3 years of HS.

Re: NCAA Eligibility Center and Institutional Request List (IRL)
Submitting transcripts early will net you an "Early Academic Qualifier" status but you cannot request final certification until April 1st of senior year. And even after you request final certification, it will not be granted until you receive (and submit to the eligibility center) your final transcript from HS. Which, for most students, is at least a month or two after April 1st. And even then it seems to take a while! Here's an example:

Re: NCAA Eligibility Center and Institutional Request List (IRL)
Thanks. You had to update the grades, etc.? I thought that the coach requested it and then the school guidance counselor updated it? (As you can see, I'm clueless on the process.) My son got his verbal offer the COVID summer after sophomore year. He verbally accepted the fall of his junior year. I know that the coach has seen his transcript but I think that's about it. (Are we behind on all this?)

Re: NCAA Eligibility Center and Institutional Request List (IRL)
Whatever tasks the NCAA Eligibility Center indicates haven't been completed. If you haven't already submitted your sons transcripts, do so. Just have to make sure his complete transcripts are submitted soon after he graduates.

Re: NCAA Eligibility Center and Institutional Request List (IRL)
My son submitted those scores on his own, requested directly from College Board (SAT) and ACT. His guidance counselor only submitted final transcript; this may vary from school to school.

Re: NCAA Eligibility Center and Institutional Request List (IRL)
Does he do that or his guidance counselor?

Re: NCAA Eligibility Center and Institutional Request List (IRL)
Your son's SAT and/or ACT scores should also be submitted to the NCAA Eligibility Center (code 9999) for his record.

Re: NCAA Eligibility Center and Institutional Request List (IRL)
We were just told to do it prior to signing the NLI. Son had sent transcripts to coaches as they requested them, and we had started the NCAA process. He wasn't asked for it specifically, until the official visit about a month before signing, where all the recruits attended and were told. Son committed summer after sophomore year.

Re: NCAA Eligibility Center and Institutional Request List (IRL)
You cannot request final eligibility until April 1st of senior year. Transcripts sent prior to then will only get you preliminary eligibility.

Re: NCAA Eligibility Center and Institutional Request List (IRL)
Your son should have his HS counselor submit his transcript to the Eligibility Center. He should also then have an updated transcript submitted after he finishes this academic year.

Re: NCAA Eligibility Center and Institutional Request List (IRL)
Thanks. But, once they are registered, and have a verbal offer that they accepted, what are the next steps with respect to the NCAA Eligibility Center?
Reply
Re: NCAA Eligibility Center and Institutional Request List (IRL)
My standard recommendation is that a recruit should register with the NCAA Eligibility Center during or shortly after their junior year of HS. There are a couple of reasons for this. 1. If the recruit is a strong academic student and has been taking a lot of college prep courses (which are basically what the NCAA defines as a "core course"), it's possible to receive Early Academic Certification before they even start their senior year. 2. The Eligibility Center will not only send out task...

If I remember correctly your son attended a high academic mid major D1. Do you believe the nature of academics at the school had them more on top of updating grades than other schools?

Re: NCAA Eligibility Center and Institutional Request List (IRL)
Thanks. He registered a while ago. Maybe like 12 months ago? And, he has an ID. No idea if he shared it with the coach at any time? I will have to ask him. He does all the communication with the coach.

Re: NCAA Eligibility Center and Institutional Request List (IRL)
In my son's case it was when the coach made the verbal offer. Foxson had just finished his sophomore year at a JuCo. We met with the coach the week after son arrived home from JuCo. Within a few days after meeting with the coach (this was in late May) he made the verbal offer and at that time requested the ID#. Things moved rather fast after that. It didn't take long to get an ID#, but it took me another two weeks or so to get everything squared away with the NCAA certification center...

Re: NCAA Eligibility Center and Institutional Request List (IRL)
This is correct. My son did not request scores to be forwarded at the time that he took the test so we did have to pay a fee. He was targeting HA schools and wanted to make sure that the score sent was his best effort ;-)

Re: NCAA Eligibility Center and Institutional Request List (IRL)
You can log in at any time after the test and send scores as well, there just may be a fee.

Re: NCAA Eligibility Center and Institutional Request List (IRL)
All of the above is correct. You can register with the eligibility center (EC) whenever you like and get an ID. My son didn't get additional tasks this year until right before NLI (Nov) in late October. But a lot of the college questionnaires will ask for the NCAA ID# so might as well get one. D1 or 2 Register here D3 or Undecided here NAIA here JUCO here He had to request directly from SAT to send to both the EC and GT separately and pay a fee. High School transcripts from Guidance...

Yes, son went to a high academic mid-major. He updated the coach, by coaches request, with his unofficial transcripts for pre-reads, but I don't think anymore than any other college for the NCAA stuff. The coaches get pretty good at reading the transcripts to not only see about the NCAA qualifications, but also the schools requirements.
