Do college coaches really use it? Any insight would be helpful. Thanks


My son attended a prospect camp where the coach said very bluntly that recruiting services do not really benefit your player. The quote was, "I'm a firm believer that your child can represent themselves.". A tournament we attended had a similar arrangement with NCSA and they now email constantly. I do not believe they are of any real help.
