Update your profile the week something changes. Not in the offseason when you remember.

Recruiting is decided February through July. Not in October. That is when boards get built and camps get run and staffs have time to watch film. Kids treat the spring as the offseason and then wonder why the fall was quiet. The work you do in March is the film somebody watches in September.

Put your season stats where a coach can see them without asking. Unverified production still beats no production.

Fill in your measurables even if you do not love them. Blank reads as hiding.

A profile with no photo gets skipped. That is not vanity, that is identification.

Your profile is the page a coach lands on after your email. If it contradicts the email, he stops.

Follow the programs you are targeting. Then your name is already familiar in the inbox.

Your X account is a highlight reel with no editor. Edit it.

Check out Kareem Shaw's recruiting profile at One11 Recruiting! Class of 2027 | CB | 5'11"/190lb | Gaffney, SC 2027 Gaffney corner with 4.5 speed, a 405 squat, and a 4.3 GPA

Put your weight room numbers up with dates on them. A 285 squat in January and a 365 in June is a far better pitch than 365 by itself. Coaches are buying 4 years of development. Showing them the slope is showing them the actual product. Log it monthly. Publish the trend. Almost nobody does this and it is free.

Do not announce a commitment you have not told the coach about.

A staff change can erase your whole relationship overnight. The coordinator who recruited you leaves in January and the new one arrives with his own board and his own kids from his last job. That is why you keep 5 schools warm after you commit, and why you keep sending film until you are enrolled. It is not disloyalty. It is exactly what every staff in the country is doing to you.

Ask every staff where you sit on their board. Not whether they like you. Where you rank at your position in this class, and how many they are signing. One of 2 at a spot where they are taking 2 is an offer. One of 9 at a spot where they are taking 1 is a hobby. Coaches will usually tell you straight. Almost no kid ever asks.

Do not commit to the first offer out of relief. That feeling is real and it has cost a lot of kids the right fit. Take 2 weeks. Take 2 more visits. Ask that staff how many others they are recruiting at your position. A school that pulls an offer because you took 14 days told you something extremely useful for free.

Thank the schools publicly. The staff that passed on you talks to the staff that didn't.

Not all camp invites are the same and kids spend real money learning this. A mass emailed invite to a 600 kid showcase went to 5,000 people. A personal note from a position coach asking you to come to his school camp went to 40. Read who signed it. Check whether it says your name anywhere. One of those is a business. One of those is recruiting.

Junior film is the film that gets you recruited. Sophomore film introduces you. Senior film confirms it. Junior film is what staffs are actually evaluating when they build the class you are in. Which makes the spring after your junior season the single highest leverage month of the entire process. Cut it, label it, and send it by March. Not June.
