Message to Recruitables

We are in the process of updating the recruitable database for the 2012 grads and we appreciate any helpful input to ensure that the information posted is correct.  The most common error is an error in the graduation year.  We generally derive profile names and information from L10 and elite results sheets that are posted online.  Unless we're lucky enough to find a personal web page or bio sheet, a recruiting video, or a news article that specifies the year of graduation, we are left to our "best guess" as to graduation year based on the age group in which the athlete competes.  If you are a recruitable athlete, coach or parent, please check the recruitables database for your name (or your athlete's name) by using the SEARCH box at the top of the front page of this web site.  If you find an error in the graduation year or any other information, please let us know.  If you are a recruitable athlete, parent of a recruitable athlete or coach with permission to maintain a profile for an athlete and you have questions about entering or maintaining a profile, drop us an email or IM.

Please be aware that when you are enter a profile, it goes to a queue for approval before it posts.  We check the website several times each day so we can approve the profiles as quickly as possible, but it may not show up immediately upon entry.

Note to L9 recruitables:  We don't activley research and post L9 profiles, but you are welcome to post your profile on this site.  Let us know if you have questions about this.

Thanks.

Like it or not, we are a society of rapid change and the rate we effectively adapt to that change can make the difference between a good and great experience. The same holds true in college athletics recruiting. The question is: How do we come to grip with this rapidly mounting culture shock in the college quest for athletes?
