As the school year comes to a close it’s time for you to start putting together your student-athlete profiles for the college coaches. Have you started yours yet ; do you see a need to have one or are you just going to wait and see what happens?

SAT, ACT  and the  National Clearing House, what does this all mean to Student Athletes. If you don’t know then you may not be recruited by college coaches. Is this the end of your dreams or should you be looking to other options.

March is now here and the summer is not far behind. For you Seniors looking for that scholarship the clock is ticking and it’s not on your side. For the Juniors this summer the clock starts for you. If a college coach has not contacted you ,chance are you’ll need help in getting Recruited. Do you know what to do or who to turn to for help.

This week we saw the National Signing for Football and the group of your men was outstanding. As I watched the show on ESPN and read local papers on the event , I noticed not many Jeresy athletes were listed. Is this a case of not talented enough or not getting their names out to coaches to be recruited.

Many athletes don’t know what or when to send information to college coaches to get recruited. The question becomes are they not getting help in school or are they just not paying attention. The right time to send your letter of interest is at the end of your Junior year of high school.

Millions of dollars in Athletic Scholarships are given out yearly.  Do you know how to get your child in front of the college coaches for their chance at these funds?

                     Here are some dates for  Football Combines 

                        The question is are they worth attending.

Jeff Goodman is a senior college basketball writer for FOXSports.com. He can be reached at GoodmanonFOX@aol.com  The nation’s top player, South Atlanta (Ga.) big man Derrick Favors, has committed to Georgia Tech.

The 6-foot-9 senior is Scout.com’s top-ranked player in the senior class and chose the Yellow Jackets on Wednesday night over N.C. State and Georgia.  “I’ll be a Georgia Tech Yellow Jacket,” Favors said on ESPN. “I like the style of play and it was close to home.”

Favors’ pledge is a huge coup for Paul Hewitt, whose Georgia Tech team is struggling this season. The Yellow Jackets are 9-6 overall and 0-2 in the ACC entering Wednesday night’s game against Duke.

The addition of Favors, though, means that a year from now Hewitt could have a starting lineup that features three potential NBA players — Favors and Gani Lawal up front with Iman Shumpert running the team.

The Yellow Jackets will also have the depth that they are missing this season when they bring in four more freshmen in addition to Favors — highly touted guard Mfon Udofia, forward Kammeon Hosley, and wings Glen Rice and Brian Oliver.

It seems that only the top 12% of the student-athlete know anything about college  signing dates for student -athletes. What can be done to educate the others about these very important dates ?

A lot of athletes are asking how to send their Student-Athlete Profiles to college coaches so here is a quick tutorial.

1) Visit a school’s website

Once you have the contact information you can start an email campaign to schools. Remember, your profile is now in NCSA’s searchable Recruit-Match Database, so college coaches can look find athletes that fit their program’s requirements. However, the recruits that have the most success actively contact college coaches to promote themselves
