The recruiting process is absolutely fascinating, just like the process of interviewing for a job.
What you really get to see is a videotape (usually selected so the player looks good), perhaps a written resume, and you get some emails and phone calls to determine personality. After that, you get a brief visit by the player to campus, and you have to decide on that whether they should play 2 or 4 years for you.
(Yes, there are club tourneys and the chance to watch people play live--but doing so takes away from other aspects of the program and that's rough too.)
So I guess today's question--is there anything that can be done to improve the process for both the player AND the school? Because if the school isn't getting total information on the player, chances are the player doesn't know everything possible about the school.
I don't have an answer--just questions.

I just wonder if it would improve the whole process and lead to happier coaches AND recruits. Because I see many coaches who lie and are unethical in getting players in, and in the end everyone is miserable and quits or transfers. I don't think that's the mission of college athletics.
