In this clip, Brad Jorgensen of Saint Leo University breaks down what too many families miss in the recruiting process: it isn’t about chasing the biggest name, but finding the right fit across multiple parts of a student-athlete’s experience.
Key takeaways include:
- Recruiting is about fit, not status
- Every decision is a balance of multiple factors
- Think in terms of a “pie chart”
- Avoid overvaluing one piece of the puzzle
- Know your lane as a parent
Recruiting, at its core, is about alignment. When families focus less on prestige and more on fit across academics, cost, location, and athletics, they give their student-athlete the best chance to find a place where they can truly grow.
