The recruiting websites are possibly good for getting looks from lower D1s, mid-lower D3s and D2s but not from the upper teams at all as those are usually through connections. ConnectLax, sports recruits, NCSA and captainU are some of the services with first two likely being the most used. If you don’t have connections, this is probably better pathway for the middle of the road players. If he is an above average player at his position unfortunately your best bet is to go through connections through your club team or high school contacts which maybe doesn’t sound like it’s a great option for you. If that is the case you are going to have to do all your own leg work such as going to prospect days, showcases and creating your own videos and emailing coaches on your own. Unfortunately without connections that pathway may prove to be difficult. Having connections or being the top player at the position is the easiest way to get recruited. Caveat: everything is on a bell curve as most players fall into these categories but there are obviously a few outliers every year who succeed despite not falling into these categories.
