Recruiting help!!

Indeed football camps are a good. But that is only going to get the kid exposure to that one particular school which the camp is being held at. I doubt his family can afford to send him to several school's camps.

1. He needs to get to a camp over the summer. Like brophy said the big D 1 camps have coaches from all over working it and evaluating kids. We have had kids go to them and get hooked up with coaches from other schools who were their position coach for drills at the camp.

2. HUDL is a great way to send highlights and game film. If you don't have it post them on youtube like you said and email that link.

3. Don't be afraid to call all the schools in your area to find out who recruits your area and get their info. Leave them a voice mail introducing yourself and tell them you emailed them a link. A little contact can go along way. Gives them a little incentive to look at the film. I just sent out a bunch of stuff for one of our kids and a follow up call to the recruiter. Have heard back from a lot of the schools, some said yeah I watched it what's his info some say we are evaluating as a staff coming up thanks for the heads up on your guy. Start developing relationships.

If he is a D1 kid he would prob have some interest and be hearing from places already. D2 schools usually do most of their recruiting during the senior season and after looking for kids who didn't get those D1 offers.

Personally I think those web sites are a waste of time. Just pick up the phone and send some emails.
