That's right, Recruit Me may not be for you.  You may not need all the free and inexpensive resources that Recruit Me provides you.  If you are a 5 Star recruit or are just wanting to spend a lot of money on a recruiting service or you are gambling that college coaches will just find you from your superior play or you are hoping a high school or club coach will get you hooked up to a college, then you don't need the free The Athletic Scholarship Podcast, the free Recruit Me Monthly Newsletter or the free Recruit Me Power Pack or the inexpensive, $39, Recruit Me 3.0 Athletic Scholarship System.  

Listen to make sure Recruit Me isn't for you.

Here is a recruiting tip for you, the prospective college student athlete: Try to get your high school and club coaches involved with your recruitment. Also, here is a message to the student-athlete and coaches; The student-athlete needs to bring a list of researched colleges and sit down with coaches to get their opinion on the level of play and on the colleges on the list.  Coaches, many times, have a relationship and/or a knowledge about the college that can help.  Don't take a coaches advice as gospel, but use it to help make your "right fit" college choice.
