Ron Caputo gave a great recruiting talk to the parents yesterday at the Players Series and then held a Q&A. One theme was don’t wait around for things to happen. Make them happen with film, emails, but not spamming coaches, and prospect days.
Nice guy. They give the same talk every year at TPS. But in all honesty for the top tier 10% D1 and d3 your only way in is if you are an elite player and they have found you or you have a connection through high school or club. For the remaining 90% you are SOL because the elite colleges are not even opening your email or watching your film.
However I would agree with caputos assessment if you are going for mid to low d2 or d3 program. Then his strategy works.
Good points. End result is the club oversell what they can do. Unless it’s Legacy, 91 or Express in my opinion. At this age if you are part of another club, get ready to do 95% of work. Again my opinion, and based on past experiences. And this is for the non ranked kids. If your is ranked, you are fine and his phone will light up in a few months. The rest you can bed early on Aug 31st.
