This is the time of the year every season that our phones begin to ring. College coaches from all around the Country start calling to try and fill a specific need or two that they have left. Some have 1 offer left and some have 4 or 5. This is when the hard work pays off. And why we work so hard to see kids play, review film, and stay up on which players have earned the right to be named among the best.
It has been a hot recruitining year in the Pacific Northwest. This was a year that we saw more early offers then any other year. And that means not that many offers are coming late in the year; at least not yet. In an attempt to help the process along here are a few of the athletes that every college should be aware of who as of now appear to be looking for their first shot.
Most of these athletes have some great options to move on to JC, Division 2 and 3. But we feel they are able to play at the higest Divisions.
