Recruiting guides for families
Practical resources for every stage of the college sports recruiting process, from first profile to final decision.

Coach Communication

Checking that public social posts linked to a recruiting profile are appropriate, current, and owned by the athlete account.
Campus Visits
A Housing Assignment Question Record for Campus Visits
Separating official housing information from athletics visit impressions so questions reach the housing office that sets the terms.
