Nine years, six Bowl Games, two B1G West Championships, 182 signees, countless relationships. It’s been real. I am extremely excited to launch BDPRecruiting as an official recruiting advisory business! I will continue to educate and help even more recruits and their families…

Today I started watching full game film of some 2023 Prospects. I'm noticing a trend of guys w/ nice highlight tapes who don't really play hard otherwise. Guys want early offers, but don't want to play hard every snap. Some programs offer off of highlights alone, but not here.

When you get a scholarship offer from a school, it’s ok to ask them if the offer is commit-able. Meaning you should be able to commit on the spot if you wish to do that. This is very important, so you know which of your offers are real, which will help u make an eventual decision

I wish recruits would just use a simple circle spot shadow or an arrow to identify themselves on film. Some of this stuff makes it difficult to pinpoint exactly where a recruit is. No need to get cute. Just circle yourself BEFORE the play begins & let it play. Oh, & no slow mo.
