As we work to help, educate, and at times guide parents and players through the recruiting process we realize that there are questions.  With each topic we cover, we can uncover areas that players and parents have not experienced, or thought about, within their own process.  To continue to help, we setup our Mailbag email address ([email protected]) so we could address individual questions while keeping our finger on the pulse of the recruiting world.
