The more talented a young man is, the earlier the recruiting process usually begins.

The good thing about competing at the NCAA Division I Level is that identifying recruits is usually a pretty easy thing for us to do. Most of the time, the type of kids we recruit are identified early in their high school careers by many college programs.

The student-athlete should control everything that happens. From figuring out what kind of a degree they want to what type of a program they want to play for, they should control it all.

Get past all the emotions that come along with the experience and get to the important stuff. Recognize what it is that you want, put a game plan together and take those steps to making a quality choice.

College recruiting is a business and I would really tell parents and athletes, alike, to treat it as such.

By taking a business-like approach, the student-athletes and their parents will be in control of the outcome and that's how it should be.
