Research - Basketball Recruiting (Last Post for Project 2)

When looking for information about recruiting when a player is in high school, I went to Google and researched for basketball information.  I clicked on a website and found some interesting information that is true since I also have been a high school athlete and believe in this information for a basketball player. They list a few rules that athletes need to follow so that they can be recruited to go onto and play college ball.

Rule 1:  Develop a skill that a coach actually can use.

Rule 2: Be good enough to be a starter on your high school team.

Rule 3: Find an AAU team in your area that fits you.

Rule 4: Don't hire Recruiting Consultants that claim will get you a scholarship, do it yourself.

Rule 5: Develop your marketing strategy, be prepared and start early.

Rule 6: Have trust in your high school and AAU coaches to help you with your recruiting.

Rule 7: Attend the right camps and showcase.'

Rule 8: You are always being evaluated make sure you are always ON.

Rule 9: You have to take care of your academics.

Rule 10: Find a good balance of playing and skill development during the off-season.

Rule 11: Keep your family in check.
