Live Recruit Academic specializes in those student athletes who are outstanding students with tremendous grades and the ability to play basketball at the Ivy League level or at the college program levels that have high academic requirements.
I had a conversation on Friday December 2nd with Tim Burke who is the creator behind Live Recruit Academic. Tim played high school basketball at Christian Brothers Academy inNew Jersey and was recruited to play college basketball at Catholic University.
The fact that Tim Burke played high school basketball and was recruited to play college basketball gives him instant credibility when it comes to the college recruiting process. I think when you look for a college recruiting service you should look for those services that have experienced individuals who have actually lived through the college recruiting process like Tim Burke.
The concept behind Live Recruit Academic is basically for student athletes to create their own athletic profile where they can upload videos and biographical information such as statistics and information on grades.
The goal is for student athletes to connect with college coaches who are looking to recruit them.
Student athletes have the ability to access their profile information and to consistently update their athletic profile. College programs can login to view the student athletes information. Basically, this is where the connection between the high achieving high school student athlete and the college program begins.
If a student athlete has a DVD of their games, Tim and his staff can convert it then upload it to the student athlete’s profile page. I think this is a great idea to have video on a website where hundreds of college coaches can view players. I believe it’s an easier approach to having a video in a beginning of the college recruiting process as opposed to trying to mail out 50 or 100 DVD’s.
Live Recruit Academic has a system where it tracks which college programs have viewed that student athlete’s athletic profile.
Live Recruit Academic is totally different from any other recruiting service. This company focuses on student athletes who have high GPA’s and who have scored extremely higher on standardized tests. Many other recruiting services are only interested in signing up any and every student athlete but not this company; they’re more concerned with athletic ability of course but, more importantly, high achieving academic standards on the part of student athletes.
The company’s website has been up and running for just about a year so they are building and they are growing every day.
Live Recruit Academic is looking to expand into other sports in the future. Make no mistake, Tim Burke is an experienced college recruiter.
He has experience as a current AAU basketball coach so he totally understands all aspects of recruiting and coaching along with the most important part, academics.
Live Recruit Academic has created an incredible niche. This recruiting service is not for everyone only those student athletes who demonstrated that they are the best that they can be academically along with athletically.
I was very impressed with Tim Burke and the concept of this outstanding company. If you are one of those student athletes who meet the guidelines and the criteria set in place by Live Recruit Academic, then this clearly is the place for you.
