If you are relying on your coach to get you in a college, you are wasting your time.
There are some who go the extra mile, but its very few and far between.

To be honest, ive heard several college coaches say they do not want "highlight" tapes.
Theyd rather get a complete game tape of your kid with therenumber and position so they can see what happens when hes not making the highlight reels.

What I found with the college coaches and preferences about film viewing from them while talking to them personally on visits was this: Each coach has their own preference on what they want. It's sort of like some people prefer meat and some prefer vegetables at dinner. I think the best advice I got was this from a college coach that shot straight at EKU that I really liked. When making a tape for recruiting for him, he said he liked some good highlights to start with to whet his appetite. Then he wanted a full game that he could set down with and really view a kid on all of the plays of the game to get an idea of how he played. Sort of like getting your dessert and then eating dinner. We did that my son's junior year. We sent out full games upon request his senior year.
