CoachBlacha Feb 8 @ 9:10 PM EST

A1: I would say some of both. 10 years ago probably strictly to play. Now it's a popularity contest #txhsfbchat

CoachAdams9 Feb 8 @ 9:10 PM EST

A1 even worse some coaches get kids signed just so they can show their program off rather than finding the athlete a good fit. #TXHSFBCHAT

CoachMcKenna Feb 8 @ 9:11 PM EST

A1) 2:1 ratio. The successful ones are usually overachievers #TXHSFBCHAT

CoachAdams9 Feb 8 @ 9:11 PM EST

they worry about signing on signing day rather than going some where that can help them with life. #txhsfbchat

In reply to @SRfbshowcase

CoachChadJ Feb 8 @ 9:14 PM EST

A1: I've seen kids pick a school just so they could be part of the signing day at school. Instead of making the best choice #txhsfbchat

Have to say I've seen this. Kids that need hand-holding in hometown sign somewhere you never heard of & back in town by Spring.

CoachBlacha Feb 8 @ 9:15 PM EST

A2: good question #txhsfbchat

coachfisher_rp - Moderator Feb 8 @ 9:15 PM EST

A2: I hope so. I believe the more kids getting recruited brings attention to more schools for general student to attend #txhsfbchat

CoachAdams9 Feb 8 @ 9:16 PM EST

A2: I can't speak for other places but the jobs I have had, they do. They support all athletics and helping the students. #txhsfbchat

CoachRmcD60 Feb 8 @ 9:16 PM EST

A2 but it's a different world for those who have never been in on the process #txhsfbchat

ecust23 Feb 8 @ 9:17 PM EST

A2: I don't think they understand what all goes inthe recruiting process & how often coaches are getting in touch with the kids. #txhsfbchat

jrmyhanson Feb 8 @ 9:17 PM EST

A2) I wonder if college coaches know how important the HS coach is in the process..I've been very unimpressed with D2/D1 coaches #txhsfbchat

CoachChadJ Feb 8 @ 9:17 PM EST

A1: my admin does. I've had real convo w them abt early id low psat and sat/act scores, offering tutorial classes, and workshops #txhsfbchat

coachmitchell17 Feb 8 @ 9:17 PM EST

A2: Admin is just as clueless as the kids & parents R. They don't fully understand the process & what it's about. #txhsfbchat

CoachRmcD60 Feb 8 @ 9:18 PM EST

A2 as a coach have to be available for when a guy can get into school and see kids #txhsfbchat

CoachJoshHadden Feb 8 @ 9:18 PM EST

A2: Considering it's a numbers game for most admins, I'd like to think they want in on touting college-bound kids. #txhsfbchat

Yes! For HCs that teach classes, its tough to get out of class to track down a kid for a recruiter. Supportive Admin is a must! #txhsfbchat

A2) We are fortunate to have very supportive admins and while they may not know everything they are very in touch w/ the process #txhsfbchat

CoachChadJ Feb 8 @ 9:24 PM EST

A2: con't also I have 1 period just to work on recruiting everyday. #txhsfbchat

SRfbshowcase Feb 8 @ 9:25 PM EST

This should be the minimum for a 6A HS unfortunately I think you are in minority #txhsfbchat

CoachChadJ Feb 8 @ 9:24 PM EST

A2: con't also I have 1 period just to work on recruiting everyday. #txhsfbchat

coachfisher_rp - Moderator Feb 8 @ 9:26 PM EST

A2: Because we know our kids and spend extra time with them, it is easy to write recommendations & help them get to their school #txhsfbchat

Coach_Timmerman Feb 8 @ 9:27 PM EST

A2) Part 2 - Our county curriculum doesn't really allow for early enrollees but this year they helped work it out for a guy #txhsfbchat

CoachJoshHadden Feb 8 @ 9:28 PM EST

HFC's in my school district teach a minimum of 4 periods a day unless AD, then 3. #txhsfbchat

Q3: Do players understand the difference in getting a full ATH scholarship and playing FB in college? #TXHSFBCHAT

CoachRmcD60 Feb 8 @ 9:32 PM EST

A3 I believe they do but many just see the hype that comes with an "Offer" #txhsfbchat

CleatEliteAnfro Feb 8 @ 9:32 PM EST

A3: A lot of players believe it's D1 or nothing and even at that level they do not understand a PWO or Walk on difference. #txhsfbchat

coachmitchell17 Feb 8 @ 9:33 PM EST

A3: Some do, but a majority of them don't. #txhsfbchat

Coach_Timmerman Feb 8 @ 9:33 PM EST

A3) We've had to clear that up over the past year. An in-state university with a club team likes to extend "offers" to players #txhsfbchat

coachfisher_rp - Moderator Feb 8 @ 9:34 PM EST

A3: No. I believe too many think that if they sign, then they should play right away. #txhsfbchat

CoachChadJ Feb 8 @ 9:34 PM EST

A3: most don't and neither do parents. Why is important to have recruiting seminars for both parents and kids #txhsfbchat

CleatEliteAnfro Feb 8 @ 9:35 PM EST

A3: Many players and their parents do not understand the difference between an "offer" and financial aid offers. #txhsfbchat

coachmitchell17 Feb 8 @ 9:35 PM EST

A3: Pt 2- Some of the kids don't understand that playing @ the next level is still playing after UR HS career is done. #txhsfbchat

CoachAdams9 Feb 8 @ 9:36 PM EST

A3 they don't, and college offers can be tricky if you don't educate them. They can end up basically paying to play. #txhsfbchat

coachfisher_rp - Moderator Feb 8 @ 9:36 PM EST

A3: If a school mentions red-shirt or if there is a couple players in their position, they will lose interest and go elsewhere #txhsfbchat

CoachGinn Feb 8 @ 9:36 PM EST

A3: most do, I'm quick to help them understand cost, some schools offer $2,000 & cost $30,000 a year, be careful. #TXHSFBCHAT

Thamannjr Feb 8 @ 9:37 PM EST

A3: Some do but its our job to be honest with them and TEACH them how the game works. No matter how much $ you get its a JOB #TXHSFBCHAT

SRfbshowcase Feb 8 @ 9:37 PM EST

There is a huge stigma with D3 that I just don't get. They get their education and they get to play #TXHSFBCHAT

ecust23 Feb 8 @ 9:37 PM EST

A3: I don't think they understand the difference but I just had a talk with my kids that will be playing college next year. #txhsfbchat

CoachJoshHadden Feb 8 @ 9:37 PM EST

A3: Some do, some don't. They don't get their "offer" covers their books & they're on the hook for the rest. #TXHSFBCHAT

CoachMcKenna Feb 8 @ 9:38 PM EST

A2) admins need to understand clearinghouse a bit better in NY. Many classes are flagged bc they do not have correct coding #TXHSFBCHAT

Q4: Can you tell when a parent pushes their kid to play college ball and a kid does not desire to play? @SRfbshowcase #TXHSFBCHAT

In reply to @SRfbshowcase

CoachAdams9 Feb 8 @ 9:41 PM EST

A2 I tell kids colleges don't make money by giving it away they have to get it some how. Usually from athletes. #txhsfbchat

ecust23 Feb 8 @ 9:41 PM EST

A4: I had a kid like that last year.The dad was far more into the recruiting process than the player.He just wanted to play ball #txhsfbchat

CoachAdams9 Feb 8 @ 9:42 PM EST

Usually when they are taking them on every visit they can find. Making the decision for them. #txhsfbchat

CoachGinn Feb 8 @ 9:42 PM EST

A4:haven't had to deal with this yet, our kids love to play the sport & we talk about it as an opportunity to further your ED. #TXHSFBCHAT

CoachChadJ Feb 8 @ 9:43 PM EST

A4: absolutely. Had a parent a few yrs ago really push his son to play. Kid only wanted to play if it was at an Ivy league #txhsfbchat

Thamannjr Feb 8 @ 9:43 PM EST

A4: Easy, kids dont lift after season or even look like they enjoy ball but then parents, dm, email, text asking about schools #TXHSFBCHAT

CoachJoshHadden Feb 8 @ 9:43 PM EST

A4: I'm consistently amazed at the amount of $$ parents dish out prior 2 college hoping 4 scholarship. Could've paid 4 college! #TXHSFBCHAT

SRfbshowcase Feb 8 @ 9:44 PM EST

A4: #TXHSFBCHAT

CoachChadJ Feb 8 @ 9:44 PM EST

A4: con't kid couldn't quite get into Ivy, had tons of d3 want him. Went academic to UT instead #txhsfbchat

CleatEliteAnfro Feb 8 @ 9:45 PM EST

A4: cont...They usually begin to stop asking questions and stop showing up to "optional" events and ultimately have no drive #txhsfbchat

coachfisher_rp - Moderator Feb 8 @ 9:45 PM EST

A4: Definitely. Some will only accept certain levels of school for their child and miss opportunities #txhsfbchat

Coach_Timmerman Feb 8 @ 9:45 PM EST

A4) Haven't had to experience this yet. We mostly deal with dialing back kids' expectations & visions of grandeur of playing D1 #txhsfbchat

txpatriot66 Feb 8 @ 9:45 PM EST

#TXHSFBCHAT almost instantly - I make the kid come to me for recruiting. I work through the kid & inform the parents. Many not on same page

CoachChadJ Feb 8 @ 9:47 PM EST

.@CoachJoshHadden see parents drop load of $ on camps/trainers. Kid isn't D1, get him a tutor for sat/act, high test score =D3 #TXHSFBCHAT

In reply to @CoachJoshHadden

coachboyneDHS Feb 8 @ 9:47 PM EST

A4) Hardest ones are when parents want it worse than the kid #TXHSFBCHAT

txhsfbchat - Moderator Feb 8 @ 9:48 PM EST
