THE MADNESS AT MIDNIGHT FOR RISING HIGH SCHOOL JUNIORS ON SEPT 1 DUE TO THE NEW RECRUITING RULES IMPLEMENTED IN 2017

With the new NCAA Recruiting Legislation that was passed and implemented back on April 14th of 2017 that banned early recruiting, with coaches permitted to contact prospective student athletes (PSAs) who are rising high school juniors (Class of 2020), once the clock strikes a minute past midnight, (PSAs) high on the Division 1 College Coaches radars will be contacted via phone, text and/or email.

Our College Commitment Database will be updated actively so you can visit our site to see the list of 2020 grads who verbally commit to the different Division 1 Colleges/Universities. 

A few tips for prospective student athletes:

We recommend that all athletes are to make sure you set a brief, professional voice mail recording that states that the caller has reached the voicemail of [Players Name] and tells the caller to (i) leave their name, (ii) number and (iii) a brief message and (iv) that you will call them back immediately upon availability. 

Lastly, although many want to commit right away to alleviate the pressure, be patient, take a few official visits (not just one), do not worry about where your peers are going to and to enjoy the recruitment process. 

Best of luck to all players aspiring to play at the collegiate level!
