She’s a 6 ‘6 superstar basketball athlete from France. She’s only a teenager and she plays like an experienced professional with all the tools and talent. 

Will she go to college we don’t know. Will she go straight to the WNBA or play overseas we don’t know that either. 

Whatever Dominique decides to do with her basketball future she is going to be an amazing talent. A can’t miss all eyes will be on her and I believe she will receive multi-million dollar endorsement deals. She’s just that good!

It is a growing epidemic dumb stupid parents getting into fights with other dumb stupid parents at youth sporting events. Locally in my area they’re not letting parents or fans come to football games at all because it’s gotten out of hand. The student athletes are playing football games in front of no fans.

The parents have ruined the recruiting.

The parents have gotten coaches fired.

The parents fight one another.

Gunshots can be heard at games. 

The parents are attacking the referees and game officials.

When will it end? 

All great players have had great coaches to get the best out of them. For the young high school student athletes who may be reading this, coaching is critical. Your coach at the high school level and even when you get to college is going to push you as hard as they can for you to be the best that you can be. You’re in for a shock when you get to the college level because at that level it is no joke and you will experience coaching that you’ve never felt in your life. The real question is can you accept coaching, can you handle the pressure, can you handle the aggressiveness Only Time Will Tell. 

Recruiting services are a waste of money. The industry has changed and the recruiting momentum has shifted. The only reason you’re spending your money with recruiting services in the first place is desperation. The recruiting process is not working out and it’s failing you. The desperate and the unaware sign up with recruiting services thinking this is their only chance, or maybe their last chance.

You’re being thrown a lifeline to nowhere.

A lot of recruiting services are run by guys who never played high school ball, college ball or any kind of ball. College coaches nowadays don’t want to hear from recruiting services and could care less. Moms and Dads out there you’re throwing your money away by investing in these recruiting services when you could do your own recruiting yourself. 

The recruiting process overall is very difficult and extremely challenging. I’m telling you if you invest your money in a recruiting service you might as well set it on the kitchen table and set it on fire.

The real power these days is in the Showcase where college coaches are in attendance. With their watchful eye they are evaluating student athletes in large numbers. You have a better chance of getting exposure at a showcase. 

If you decide to go with a recruiting service, fair warning they can’t get the job done any longer. It’s too challenging, it’s too difficult and many of these companies do not have the tools and the resources to get it done. 

Sorry folks but recruiting can be a lose-lose situation. Student athletes are doing everything in their power to get their name out there with little to no results. Many of these student athletes will end up at Non-Division One college programs. Many of the student athletes will end up not going to college at all because they are blinded by the division one hoopla. Some kids get into college some kids won’t, some kids will end up having to give up their dreams because it didn’t work out!
