I am a total newby when it comes to football recruiting. My son is a current soph and would love to play football in college at any level. It's hard to decipher what is real and what is just a money grab. Son does not have physical measurables that jump off paper like most sophs who are getting recruited already and getting early offers. As this is my first time through this with a child, I was looking for some feedback from others who have been through it.
- Camps - he gets a lot of emails from div 3 coaches to attend a certain camp. The email is the same content regardless of the coach who sends it. Seems like a money grab.
- Are there legit camps he should go to in summer?
- Showcases - invite to Indy to go through a combine type atmosphere and get measured, timed, etc. Is this type of stuff legit? When should he do it?
- Services/Recruiting sits - Coach Pete/Deep Dish, Lemming, Rivals, etc. What to make of all this?
Just looking for sound advice and maybe a timeline of what to be doing rising junior summer, etc.
