Frequently Asked Questions
When is a good time for me to start contacting intercollegiate coaches to get my name on their desk?
As soon as you show exceptional athletic potential. AASR recruits should enroll in our service early in their high school career. The important thing is to not to wait too long. Intercollegiate coaches are well into their recruiting process by the time you start your senior year of high school.
I know I can play at the intercollegiate level, but no coaches or only the local college coach has contacted me. Is it possible for me to find a better opportunity?
Most likely, a lot of intercollegiate coaches would be interested but they have never seen your name, heard of you, or know that you be interested in their program.
I go to camps, and a lot of intercollegiate coaches see me or even talk to me. Why have they not contacted me?
An intercollegiate coach usually works camps to watch an athlete that has been recommended to them by a professional scout, not to find new talent.
My high school coach has told me not to worry about a scholarship since he will or is talking to intercollegiate coaches for me. Why have the intercollegiate coaches not contacted me?
If you have not been contacted by any intercollegiate coaches, then YOU ARE NOT BEING RECRUITED. How many student-athletes has your high school coach helped get scholarships for in the past? How many student-athletes have successfully advanced to play intercollegiate athletics?
My parents and I have written to college programs. Why have they not replied? Why should All-American Sports Recruiting contact them for me?
Intercollegiate coaches expect a certain level bias from parents and student-athletes and always hear the same line from parents, "I'm not just saying this because he/she is my son/daughter..." An objective source like AASR that presents your skills and accomplishments has more credibility. Especially when AASR is owned by a former intercollegiate coach with 13 years of experience and 6 years as a head coach.
Does All-American Sports Recruiting guarantee their service?
Due to NCAA regulations, AASR cannot guarantee a scholarship. Scholarships depend on the student-athletes' academic and athletic abilities meeting the needs of a specific intercollegiate program that has the budget to afford a scholarship for that particular student-athlete. A scholarship guarantee would indicate that we represent student-athletes as an agent and would create athletic eligibility problems for the student.
AASR allows all student-athletes the opportunity to gain exposure to intercollegiate athletic programs via the recruiting evaluations. Not everyone has intercollegiate athletic talent. Therefore, if no intercollegiate coaches contact you after your recruiting profile and skills video have been submitted to them, then they most likely have recruited better talent.
How can some recruiting services offer online profiles at no charge?
Other recruiting services can offer free online profiles because their operating income is based on advertising sales generated from the number of visitors to their sites. The free online profiles do not guarantee your placement into an intercollegiate athletic program, nor maximizing your scholarship opportunities. You are not guaranteed to that college coaches will know your name and contact you.
What is the success rate of the program?
AASR opened for business in the June 2008. AASR had 100% success placing the enrolled student-athletes in colleges and helped some obtain scholarships.
