In episodes 223 and 224, the interviews with Kevin Easley, a college athlete's father, we got some great information from a family that went through the recruiting process and is go through the recruiting process with their high school age son. One of the many, many tidbits from the Easley interviews was that the family started looking up recruiting rules on NCAA.org. Learning NCAA rules helped them to understand some recruiting lingo and helped them to understand why coaches did things certain ways. From this advice this episode is going to cover Official Visits. Episode 225 will cover the rules for Official Visits on travel, lodging, entertainment and the number of visits allowed. You will also get a look into my own family's experiences on visits. Don't forget about Myth #5 of Athletic Scholarships, that are found in the Recruit-Me 3.0 Athletic Scholarships System.
