academic athletic college ended few followed good great highlights hurting interested nebraska phone picked resume schools sheet signed son tape together
I had a son who wanted to play college basketball, so this is what we did. We made up a resume sheet that had his picture, academic and athletic information, and then put together a good tape that showed some highlights of his season. After that we picked out 50 or so schools that he was interested in, and then mailed the packets. Then we followed up with phone calls. We ended up getting a great response. He signed with a school in Nebraska (York College) and got to play a few years before hurting his knee.
beat five free pay spot whatever
I'd pay five bucks, or whatever they charge, to get in. And I get in for free and get a spot on the sidelines. I don't know how you can beat that.
expectation performed raised
I don't know if they raised the expectation level, but they just have performed better.
contact definitely high personal player respond school sends time took
Now, when a high school player sends a personal letter, we'll definitely respond to that every time, because they took the time to contact us personally. I think that's probably the way to go.
instead spending
I just think that's probably the way to go about it instead of spending all that money.
players thinking together work
We just try to keep combinations of players together that can work well together. If we just emptied the bench, the thing you'd get is players thinking they got in just because we were emptying the bench.
