@STLinHtown @Kbeautiiful01 @CoachReedLive I don't know your full story, however, I know a player when I see one! Continue to get DJ to some of these smaller camps where he can get multiple Reps.
He is worthy, but the larger camps at this point won't be as healthy. Take care, Man.

[Coach Hough @CoachHough]

@STLinHtown @Kbeautiiful01 @CoachReedLive DJ is probably better than some of the recruits that has already been offered by a school. He is probably better than players high on their recruiting board Many 11 & 12 grade players are sometimes considered late bloomers and get lost amongst the hundreds.

[Coach Hough @CoachHough]

@STLinHtown @Kbeautiiful01 @CoachReedLive DJ is nice Devonte! The awareness, speed, and hands. Keep sending his video out to various schools. Usually if a kid wasn't highly recruited early or put on someone's recruiting board they get lost amongst the hundreds of other players.

@ElamJessamine @Ntense_Todd @CoachReedLive Also, the year of your child matters. Division 2 schools tend to be more aggressive after your junior year. What position does your baby play? What year is your kid?

[Coach Hough @CoachHough]

@ElamJessamine @Ntense_Todd @CoachReedLive Jessamine - Go to a ton of division 2 prospect camps on their actual campus. Usually at these camps you'll get multiple reps as these smaller camps typically have around 90 or less campers, which means more reps and exposure for you.

[Coach Hough @CoachHough]

@CoachReedLive Cap the number of portal and JUCO players per team to 14 each year. A player must be Completely done with the university eligibility wise before bringing a new player in that would put a team over the cap. Preserve scholarships for the HS players.

@Leitch_Army @CoachRC23 @CoachReedLive Coach Leitch - I am 💯 with you in saying "silence doesn't always mean I'm not interested". I've learned to go where you are valued. So many great players, not enough spots so coaches prioritize. Sometimes their assessment pan out, sometimes they don't.

[Coach Hough @CoachHough]

@TravisWhatcott @CoachReedLive So many variables involved with recruiting. Many deemed D1 recruits have been identified probably since 8th or 9th grade. Those recruits are priority. If those recruits don't workout, then it's on to the next person. Continue with the exposure!

[Coach Hough @CoachHough]

@coach_jferg @nbbaseball2011 @CoachReedLive Camp invites are real!
It essentially means one school likes you alot, however, compared to the other players that play the same position, another player might be ranked higher on their recruiting board. If their top picks sign elsewhere, then you're in.

[Coach Hough @CoachHough]

@iwillbegreat @CoachReedLive If an FCS offer is available to you, take it! If a player isn't a highly recruited player, a recruiter can easily go to the next person up. Going to JUCO isn't a guarantee your offers will increase. The positives. You will still have 5 years to complete 4.

[Coach Hough @CoachHough]

@all99yards @CoachReedLive If you become a top target, like top 5 for your position, then fortunes will undoubtedly change. Direct communications will increase! Right now there are maybe 20 or 30 players for the same position. Keep on keeping on! The positive will come. 4 of 4.

[Coach Hough @CoachHough]

@all99yards @CoachReedLive If you are in this top 10 of recruits for your position, expect some type of easy communication like a social media graphic with your students name, general emails, or regular mail. I call it keep you on ice. 3 of 4 cont..

[Coach Hough @CoachHough]

@all99yards @CoachReedLive The FBS/FCS schools typically place these 8th, 9th, and 10th grade recruits on a board and evaluate them each season. Some new recruits get added while some recruits get dropped. Around a students 11th grade year if you are in their top 10. 2 of 4 cont...

[Coach Hough @CoachHough]

@all99yards @CoachReedLive Hang in there drawnnear.
Typically, if your student wasn't on some coaches radar by their 8th, 9th, and 10th grade year an extremely high percentage of coaches will overlook a player for the FBS level and many on the FCS level. 1 of 4. Cont..》
