After spending a few years talking to potential recruits and their families, there always seems to be one question that they ask themselves. “Is what I am doing now enough too get a college scholarship?” To many times the answer is yes and come signing day they are left with no scholarship offers to sign.

If you’re a big time recruit with countless scholarships to choose from then you’re right, Top Prospects is not for you. If you’re like the rest of the student athletes across the country you probably need some help. Recruiting is harsh, and here are some of the hard truths that recruits must face:

• Getting a invitation to a camp doesn’t mean you’re getting an athletic scholarship
•  Taking unofficial visits doesn’t mean you’re getting an scholarship
• Being on a great AAU team doesn’t mean you’re getting an offer

Sometimes when you’re talking to coaches you feel that they are going to give you a scholarship any day now. But as the days pass, an  athletic scholarship is never offered.  Student-athletes are so sure that a particular school is going to offer them, that they completely stop talking to other schools. That can end up as a critical mistake on their part, because while their waiting on this particular school, other schools are handing out scholarships that they could have received.

Even when you are talking to 6 or 7 different college coaches you might get an offer from 1. What if you never really liked the coaching staff, or they don’t offer the academic program that interest you?

The best thing to have in the recruiting process is options. The more schools  and college coaches that are interested in you, the  better the chances are that you will find the best fit for you.
