Here is a recruiting tip for you, the prospective college student athlete: Try to get your high school and club coaches involved with your recruitment. Also, here is a message to the student-athlete and coaches; The student-athlete needs to bring a list of researched colleges and sit down with coaches to get their opinion on the level of play and on the colleges on the list.  Coaches, many times, have a relationship and/or a knowledge about the college that can help.  Don't take a coaches advice as gospel, but use it to help make your "right fit" college choice.   Click Here to join the Recruit-Me Monthly Newsletter.  Get monthly tidbits of recruiting advice and education.     Recruit-Me.com Recruit-Me 3.0 Athletic Scholarship System FREE Recruiting Power Pack QRRecruiter.com  promo code RecruitMe5 CollegeCoachesOnline.com  promo code RM123 Listen to Past Episodes of The Athletic Scholarship Podcast Baseball Bluebook Virtual Dugout App

Today I highlight an X post from @SportsForceBB about their option on the new NCAA Scholarship and Team Roster rules starting in the 2025-2026 season of sports.  This post talks mainly about college baseball, but the new rule will affect other sports and level of college sports and recruiting.  You will get the 5 points that the @SportsForce BB post presents, plus you will get how the new NCAA rules change the number of scholarships and the number of players a team can support.  Just because the number of scholarships is expanding, that does not mean every school will be able to fully-fund all the new scholarships.  Let's get ready to navigate the new recruiting paths coming quickly.

I came across 2 posts on X on social media that I will cover in this episode of The Athletic Scholarship Podcast.  The 1st post was about the announcement that the National Letter of Intent will be eliminated by the NCAA Division I and Division II levels.  I will give you the actual announcement and what the NLI was and how it might effect recruiting.  More news on the changes will be covered on future episodes.  The 2nd post I can across was from a Head Coach of a NAIA level baseball team.  The post said the Head Coach just wants prospective student-athletes to contact him directly and not to pay someone else to sent a mass email.

Welcome to episode 410, of The Athletic Scholarship Podcast. In past, The Athletic Scholarship Podcast episodes I have referenced the cornerstone of Recruit Me, the Recruit Me 3.0 Athletic Scholarship System.  The Recruit Me 3.0 System includes a 200 plus page manual and includes a workbook and worksheets. I have covered the Seven Steps to an Athletic Scholarship in various past episodes, and also the 10 Myths about AthleticSscholarships and Frequently Asked Questions about Recruiting. Today's episode are readings from the Recruit Me 3.0 manual. You will hear what is on pages 81, 82 and 83 that cover the topic of Choosing the Right Camps and Showcases during your recruitment and then the topic of Parent/Athlete Teamwork in the recruiting process, from pages 91, 92 and 93. Then there is a reading from page 97 about Junior Colleges, sometimes called JUCOs. And then on pages 104 and 105 of the Recruit Me 3.0 Manual, you hear about the importance of academics in your recruitment. Find out more about the Recruit Me 3.0 system on Recruit-Me.com.
