Video for College Player?

I am not sure everyone on this board will agree; however, a former travel coach sent a video of my son, 4-2-4,to the JC he had played and the JC coach sent word through him to have son visit. Son transfered (D1 program) and is playing for that JC this year and committed to another D1 program for the following year. Sometimes it does work,what do you have to lose; however, it can be tricky with his present school/coach. Be very, very careful!

Thanks for the advice. To clarify, it is a unique situation where there have been changes (coaches, etc.). The current coach would like for him to stay but the coach understands his situation and is aware of his plans to look at other options.

Another word of adviceo your homework when selecting another college, especially JC. First, make sure about his transfer hours and can he get enough hours to complete his AA. This is a must!
Second:Study the program and can you determine how many former players have gone on to other 4 year programs. Is the coach proactive and respected by other 4 year programs and will he play an active role in getting your son into a 4 year program. Some JC coaches are lazy and/or disinterested in helping players, try not to get caught in that situation. Fortunately, my son's coaches are very respected by recruiters and scouts and were very proactive in getting him seen. Hope this helps??

Keep it coming, need all the help we can get.

He has surpassed his JC eligibility; he is looking at a 4-4 transfer.

I think a video is a good idea but he is concerned that he is too old for a recruiting video. I don't see how coaches will have a chance to see him in season, seems like he needs a video so they can view and determine their level of interest.
