Know what your program needs
Start with your roster, depth chart, and graduating class. Look at the positions that need help now and those likely to open next season. A class should support the whole program, not just the highest-rated names.
Learn what a recruit wants
Review a recruit’s priorities before spending your recruiting resources. Consider how your program, playing-time opportunities, visits, and offers fit what the player values. Read each cost before committing hours or points.
Make offers you can support
Scholarships, NIL offers, and playing-time promises are different parts of recruiting. Check your existing commitments and available budget before extending another offer. An exciting recruiting class still needs a workable financial plan.
Keep your own players in the picture
Recruiting does not end with incoming freshmen. Review departure risk and the transfer portal so you can understand who might leave and where an experienced transfer could help.
Review the plan each week
Return to your recruiting board as the season progresses. Update priorities when commitments, roster needs, or finances change. Program reports and your weekly checklist can help you decide what deserves attention.
Connect recruiting to development
After players arrive, review their numbers, roles, and depth-chart positions. Follow their ratings and production through the season, and use development resources where they fit your program’s needs.
