Welcome to the Recruiting Readiness Hub

A Clear Starting Point for Families Navigating College Recruiting & NIL

If you’re a parent or student-athlete trying to make sense of college recruiting, you’re not alone. The recruiting process has become more complex, more competitive, and more misunderstood—especially with the addition of NIL, roster limits, and evolving evaluation practices.

The Recruiting Readiness Hub was created to provide clear, structured recruiting education for families who want to understand how the process actually works—not just what social media suggests.

This blog focuses on readiness, not hype. Visibility, not noise. Preparation, not guesswork.

Why Recruiting Readiness Matters

College recruiting is not a single moment or post—it’s a process. College coaches evaluate athletes over time, considering far more than highlight clips or follower counts.

Based on guidance from organizations like the NCAA and insights shared across recruiting platforms such as the NCSA, readiness includes:

Academic eligibility and trajectory
Athletic development and growth
Position and roster fit
Coachability, consistency, and reliability
Clear, evaluatable information

Recruiting readiness means an athlete is prepared to be evaluated, not just seen.
