Wouldn't it be great if each student-athlete with above average athletic skills and the necessary academic qualifications received national exposure that led to college scholarship offers?
As you well know, recruiting has changed over the past few years and in today's recruiting environment, athletic ability does not necessarily mean that college athletic scholarship offers will be made. The competition to receive an athletic scholarship is fierce and most colleges not only recruit student-athletes on a local basis but on a national basis as well.
The reality is that it takes more than a high school coach's recommendation or simple home video to be considered for college scholarship opportunities. Take a look at the competitive nature of obtaining an athletic scholarship at an NCAA university:
