🧠 Episode Summary

JP and Matt break down the modern recruiting landscape and why families need a real strategy in today’s portal-driven era. They explain how recruiting has become more opaque, how evaluations (especially at QB) are often flawed, and why athletes must treat development + visibility as a year-round job.

🧩 Topics Covered

📌 Recruiting isn’t “send it and hope”

Getting your info to coaches is necessary, but doesn’t guarantee feedback
Coaches may like you and stash you for later
The process is opaque — even coaches feel it

🏗️ “Build the house… then tell people it’s for sale”

You can’t sit back and wait
But don’t market a “half-built house” either
Balance: development + exposure

🔁 Transfer portal impact on recruiting

Coaches want relationships but know kids can leave quickly
Players feel the same instability on their end
Less long-term development, more “ready-made” demand

📏 QB evaluation is too obsessed with height

Many youth QB rankings heavily weight height over actual QB play
Some “top” kids just look advanced because they’re older/bigger
Reference example: Diego Pavia as proof that production can beat measurables

🧭 Why families need a plan (Game Plan Strategies)

Many parents are uninformed about cost, timelines, and realistic options
Example: families reaching out too late (even day before signing day)

✅ What athletes should prioritize (the framework)

📚 Grades + school responsibilities
💪 Physical development (beyond school lifting)
🏈 Skill development (year-round)
📣 Branding/marketing (visibility matters)

🧠 Development is shrinking in the portal era

Players are learning systems faster, but developing less
Transfers create constant turnover across position groups
Less time to build high-level processing and full-field QB skills

🏒 Multi-sport narrative vs reality

Coaches say they like multi-sport athletes, but often only value football output
Multi-sport can help athleticism — but can also become a distraction if football development stops
Example: Layton Usry discussion (elite athlete + huge production)

🔥 Key Takeaways

✅ Recruiting is earlier, faster, and more competitive than ever
✅ Athletes must own development — nobody will “build you” in college anymore
✅ Visibility matters: you can’t be shy
✅ Choose camps/combines strategically
✅ Skill + football IQ + consistency beat hype
