  1. Recruiting 101:A Fountain of Formerly Useless Knowledge Josh McCuistion

  2. Pitfalls of recruiting

  3. Recruiting media: the names to know

  4. There are Over one million high school football players in the united states

  5. Inside The numbers • Nearly one million high school football players currently in United States • If each class is equally represented – 275,000 seniors playing high school football this season • 128 Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) football programs • 25 scholarships per recruiting class • 3200 available scholarships • One in every 86 high school football seniors will land an FBS scholarship • By those numbers it would be possible for the entire Moore School District (or a district similar) to not have a player sign an FBS scholarship this year

  6. Don’t be afraid of self promotion • Do all you can to keep your HUDL page updated and concise • Not every play needs to be present : start every tape with your best • Always show interest to the schools showing interest in you • Don’t close any doors for yourself • When speaking to coaches – don’t let them forget you, but avoid being pushy

  7. Social media: everyone is watching • You are a brand • Some simple rules • No drugs, crudeness, or illegalities • BUT can be used for good

  8. Street agents/Handlers: Not your friend

  9. Recruiting services: at your own risk
