Class of 2028: You’re Big Day Is (Almost) Here!

It’s Christmas Eve Day, in a matter of speaking, for those current juniors who are potential college recruits.

Tomorrow is September 1 and for the Class of 2028 grads it means it’s the first day when D1 coaches can officially begin contacting prospective recruits to express an interest in perhaps extending a scholarship offer at some point.

*****

Potential College Coach Activities

How will these elite, fortunate high school juniors be contacted? By a variety of ways: phone calls, texts, emails and even via social media. And they 

They can also extend verbal scholarship offers!

And one other key thing that will happen: these college coaches can come see the prospect in person at their schools and even homes!

Potential Recruit Activities

And for the recruit, what can they do?  

They can begin taking official and unofficial visits.

In other words… it’s time to get real! 

It can start at 2 pm EST, 1 pm CST and 11 am PST, the pesonal contacting, and make for a very long afternoon and evening for some of the elite prospects…. but they probably already know this!

It’s a good idea–rather late now, though!–to have a plan in place as to what you’ll be doing (and expecting) on Tuesday.
