Was SportsRecruits.com easy to use?
Yes. The website was both comprehensive in its feature set and easy to add videos, transcripts, news articles and all the other materials a coach would be interested in seeing. The recent upgrade of the video management section of the website allows unrivaled control of text, access, and viewers.
Was the SportsRecruits.com staff helpful to you throughout the process?
They certainly were. Though we talked mainly to Chris Meade, we occasionally talked to Matt Wheeler. Not only was their information accurate and useful, it gave us the feeling that they’d be able to answer any recruiting question we asked of them. These guys are knowledgeable professionals! When our son was attending camps that hadn’t yet appeared on their dropdown menu, a quick call to Chris produced near instantaneous results. Jake Reed’s Fall Junior camp, Under Armour Midwest tryouts, and California Gold appeared less than five minutes after I inquired about adding them.
What was the college coaches response to your profile?
In an unusual way, it was terrific. We didn’t receive any informational questions at all from college coaches. That’s because everything they needed was already on the website: Transcripts, phone numbers and email addresses for both High School and Club coaches, highlight reel and full game footage, stats, summer schedule – just everything.
Would you recommend SportsRecruits.com to a friend that wants to play college lacrosse?
I have already recommended Lacrosse recruits to a number of parents. Often, they started out by asking me about a different recruiting website. I always checked out those sites before I responded, but in the end I always recommended SportsRecruits. Some allowed anyone to see confidential information. Some were generic sports recruiting services and didn’t provide a place to enter crucial, lacrosse-specific information. Others were primarily video editing shops who appended a half-baked recruiting site as an outlet for their videos. Only SportsRecruits has a complete, thoughtfully designed, secure, sport-specific service. You’re to be congratulated for putting together the gold standard of recruiting sites.
