You want to be recruited…

  • But how does a college/university 1,000 miles away know about you?
  • How do coaches find out about you?
  • Have coaches scouted you or seen you play?

To be recruited, you need to be noticed. You need RecruitU2 to help you get noticed and to help you find the right school. If you’re asking yourself, “What’s the best college I can get into?” or “Where can I go and actually play my sport? I don’t want to sit on the bench and watch others play.” or most importantly “Where can I get the most out of a college education and still play my sport?”

The answer is RecruitU2. We show you how to market yourself and help coaches FIND YOU! Being recruited is just like finding a job. Unfortunately, there isn’t a Monster.com for college sports recruiting. You need a plan, you need to make yourself known to as many coaches as possible, and you need to be flexible.

  • Do NOT limit yourself to a specific size school.
  • Do NOT limit yourself to one location/state.
  • Do NOT limit yourself to Division I schools.

Use RecruitU2 to market YOU to as many schools as possible.

Once the recruiting begins, you'll be able to make serious, legitimate decisions and choose the Best opportunity available to you. You won't be limited to local or area colleges, you'll have offers and interest from all over the country.

Q. To how many schools should I market myself?

A. As many as possible. You probably can’t name more than ten or fifteen colleges/universities; but there are literally 1,047 colleges and universities in the NCAA. If your sport is sponsored at the majority of these participating schools, you should let virtually every coach know about you.

Q. How do I decide which of the schools to apply to?

A. We usually recommend that you first decide which parts of the country you won’t go to school (everyone has their least favorite areas of the country), then look at your grades, SAT and ACT scores and which schools sponsor your sport. From that list, you market yourself to all the remaining schools and their coaches.

Q. How does RecruitU2 help?

A. We offer three choices:

1. We help you write your profile, a cover letter and supply you with support information for the marketing and recruiting process. You copy the profile and market yourself to the schools of your choice.
2. We help you write your profile, cover letter and identify the list of schools, coaches and email and mailing addresses of your choice. We supply you with a master copy of the profile, the cover letter and a disc of all mailing information for the schools of your choice. You reproduce the profile and letter and use the mailing list to market yourself to the coaches.
3. We do all the above, but also actually send the email and USPS mail introductions on your behalf (our fee includes up to 100 USPS mail letters; additional USPS mail letters are extra).

Q. Should I send a tape or CD with my information?

A. No. Never send a tape or CD unless a coach asks for one. Those who send them find out later that the tapes or CDs were stored somewhere, unseen by any coach or assistant.

Q. How many schools should I visit?

A. You should visit as many of the schools where the coach shows actual, personal interest in you, is in contact with you personally and where you could honestly envision yourself attending. Obviously, cost is a factor, so choose those schools you’re most interested in and where the coach shows the most “personal” interest in you coming.

Q. Can I leverage my athletics to get into colleges where I might not otherwise qualify (academically)?

A. In a number of cases, yes. Many schools recognize the amount of time and commitment it takes to be a successful athlete and give students and the coaches recruiting them a specific range for admittance that would, otherwise, be less forgiving for non-athletes. Don’t be afraid to ask this question of the coach.

Q. When can a coach contact me?

A. Any coach may write you, email you and send you literature and information about his college and sport program at any time. Each sport, however, has specific start and cutoff dates for talking with student athletes in person. Check the NCAA site to verify when a coach may speak with you personally (www.ncaa.org).

Q. This whole process seems a bit overwhelming. How will RecruitU2 help me?

A. We will start by helping you define where you want to go (geographically), define the size school you'd like to attend, the division level, the SAT/ACT range of the school and which schools offer your sport. With this information, you will be able to clearly define to which schools you wish to promote yourself. We will then offer you three choices for promotion:

a) We provide your profile and cover letter so you can write the coaches;
b) We create and supply the mailing list to accompany the cover letter and profile so you can write the coaches,
c) We create the mailing list, print the profiles and personalized introductory letters and send them to the coaches for you.
