Thanks for the info, but how are kids already on the radar without playing HS? I know I'm late to the race but I feel my son now, even compared to summer, is a totally different player. Just having a season of HS Football conditioning and practice and JV/Varsity play has made him a better athlete physically and mentally.
It seems like if you don't go to the two showcases this summer everyone has been mentioning it's over before it started...
Is it the club coach that we need to lean on a bit? The HS coach doesn't even know him yet. Thanks
I don't want to sound like a jerk (I am one but don't want to sound like one) but if your 9th grader who played jv/varsity football is a potential early commit D1 player then your HS coach has to know who he is. My HS coach can talk at length about 5th and 6th graders in his program. even if it is a private school and he is new to the school if he is a potential "UNC,UVA or Hopkins" kid I am sure the HS coach knows him and if not call him up and introduce yourself and then discuss recruiting camps with him.
