GETTING YOUR SON LOOKED AT BY COLLEGES


Recommended Posts

He goes to almost every camp possible. He went to I think 7 last year. He is a very hard working kid.

Let me ask you a question. Is your boys name in my Murphy Fair book? I garuntee you these SEC coaches look in Murphys book to read about these boys. How fast can he run the fifty yard dash in? Is he real strong?

The best way to get on the college radar is to join an organization like NPA, if interested I can provide a number to get started. Plus one day camps this June can get em a look.

You are full of mess. I garuntee you if the coach is at the top of Murphys pole and the boy is in Murphys book the SEC coaches will notice him. Look at all the boys that Quarles man and Rankin man have got in the SEC. They were all in my Murphy Fair book and they were always on top of Murphys pole. You think im joking but im not.

Let's be honest. Not all players are SEC quality. What we have though are kids that love the game and want to keep playing at the next level. If a kid wants to play at the next level there is somewhere for him. He just has to get himself in front of coaches. Camps and multimedia are the two best methods of accomplishing this.

I garuntee you the first thing a boy has to do is get listed in my Murphy Fair book. These SEC coaches read Murphys book and see who is on the front cover. That Jones man always gets two or three boys each year off of Murphys front cover. Murphy gives these SEC coaches a copy of his book so they can read about these boys. You think im joking but im not.

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO GET YOUR SON LOOKED AT BY COLLEGES. HE IS GOING TO BE A SENIOR NEXT IN THE 2017 SEASON AND HE IS SOMETHING LIKE 5 FOOT 11 PLAYS ON THE OFFENSE AND DEFENSE LINE. BENCHES 375 SQUATS OVER 500 POWER CLEANS LIKE 275. I WOULD LOVE SOME POINTER'S. ANYTHING YALL HAVE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECATED.

Have the high school coach

Have his high school coach contact schools with an email. Good players are already know about by d1 schools and most d1AA. All others can find their opportunity and d2 ,d3 , and naia schools. Not many kids are missed by larger schools so if not contacted already probably not going to happen. Plenty of other schools that play good football that kids can play.

I agree with this. But the responsibility of contacting college coaches can't rest solely on the high school coach. The player and his family must play a huge role in making contacts.

Making contact is okay, just know that college coach is going to contact HS coach also. College coach wants to know other things also. Never seen a bad highlight tape.  Most small colleges will have between 150 and 200 kids on football team and probably 65 play during the year.  Most smaller schools it is more about  Kids in school than playing on the field. All about more tuitions.

I agree. However, unless the player is a

stud that everyone knows about the initial contact will have to come from the player side. Plus, the player is not limited as to when he can contact a college coach (not true in reverse).

    • Lol! I was being a bit facetious. 
    • Way late on this post, but I do believe that I want to at least weight in so to speak lol. I wrestled NAIA competed against some of the best wrestler over all a crossed the divisions and felt great about my college wrestling experience. I think people make the mistake in believe that wrestling some how gets easier as a sport at the smaller college divisions it doesn't the training is mostly the same. I have that on good authority from a coach who was a D1 all-American. it's more the commitment level of the competitors that is different. There is talented wrestlers that can go D1 at any level in the smaller division. sub in Sammy Shires for one he would have done fine on a DI team. He chose a work life ratio that suited him. It's not about talent it's commitment are you going to make training and studying the sport the center of your world cause that's what it takes: NO MATTER HOW TALATENTED BEFORE HAND YOU ARE.  If so then D1 is for you and striving for success at that level is for you like Mr. Palmer said it's what your willing to put in. Now coaches if you have a successful wrestler who fits that bill then by all means D1 is a great option they will see some success no matter how small, but if they are not that committed along with being talented and a killer and you know it then your doing them wrong.  You don't have to tell athletes that you don't think they are D1 tell them to keep their options open to take all their visits to consider all the divisions regardless of their goals. college recruiting visits have you most times wrestle against their current wrestlers coaches and athletes  will find out real quick it's not easy no matter where you go. That way when they make their decision it's a sound one that's based on well rounded experiences.     BobCorker, and oceansize42 I believe what you are thinking is correct but for different reasons. TN wrestler's have the talent... it's a commitment level change. TN wrestlers aren't used to having to put themselves through the level of commitment required and kills them on the D1 level.    WrestlingGod, I agree you should push kids to pursue their dreams, but not at the cost of common sense period... we have to much of that going around this country already. Dreams can turn to poison when these wrestler are not educated on what it truly takes. In TN  a kid who understands wrestling to a high level can be successful with small amounts of hard work. They think their definition of hard work is enough for D1 that is the mistake not the "talent/understanding".  Over-all though we do not celebrate NAIA,D2,D3, or Juco success in this state like other states do. GA/AL celebrates all it's college wrestlers success a crossed the  board no matter the division. Why? because it's hard... I have gone to all the divisions National championships let me tell you to be a all-American at any is impressive especially D2 or NAIA. those guys can scrap and not one of those AA's are an easy match. all of them were state placers or champs multiple times in their high school careers. does that at all sound easy to place at? TN does not give those guys enough credit or shout outs period. it's an over sight because of this D1 or it's less than meaningless   mentality on this site and in this state. GA/AL is better then us on the highest stage because they send guys to D2,NAIA,D3 ect. they come back understanding the sport better then their pervious coaches, and give back and that cycles to athletes readiness to go D1 with clearer understanding of what it takes to be competitive day 1 freshman year.             My post isn't to support one way or the other but to just consider that both sides have merit and that both work when the system in TN. by system I mean coaches are the better educated on preparing athletes for each level they want and should pursue.        
    • If you think McKenzie could've beat Riverside I have a bridge you might like to buy. 
    • Hate to hear Ricky is heading to the old folk's home!
    • By recruiting, I mean members of a coaching staff are talking to, meeting with, giving tours, to students, and their guardians, that are not zoned for their school.    there’s no way that many non Bearden kids just showed up all at once without being recruited. It can’t be a coincidence that all those kids also went through the middle school all star game your boss puts on every year.
