Schools of Interest
Your school list should include the program name, division level, position fit, and your athlete's genuine level of interest. URecruit HQ gives each school a status so you always know where things stand.
Recruiting Plan
Organize Your Football Recruiting Process from Start to Finish
The college football recruiting process spans years and involves dozens of schools, conversations, and decisions. URecruit HQ gives families a structured workspace to manage it all.
The challenge
Most Families Are Managing This in Their Heads
Without a system, recruiting information gets scattered across texts, emails, spreadsheets, and memory. Schools fall through the cracks. Follow-up windows get missed. And when a coach asks a direct question — "How serious are you about our program?" — families are not always ready with a clear answer.
URecruit HQ is not a solution to those problems. It is the place where you build the solution yourself — by tracking what matters, reviewing it regularly, and making decisions based on what you actually know.
- Scattered school lists with no clear priority or status
- Forgotten follow-ups and missed contact windows
- No record of which coaches have shown interest or how
- Camp schedules not connected to recruiting goals
- No timeline to know what is coming next
- Coaches asking questions families are not prepared to answer
What to track
The Five Things Every Recruiting Plan Should Cover
A complete recruiting plan is not about tracking everything. It is about tracking the right things consistently.
Communication History
Log every interaction with each program — questionnaires submitted, emails exchanged, calls made, texts received. Over time, this log tells you which relationships are actually developing.
Visits and Official Events
Track unofficial and official visits, junior days, and any on-campus interactions. These are often turning points in the recruiting relationship and deserve their own record.
Camps and Exposure Events
Connect your camp schedule to your school list. Each camp your athlete attends should have a reason tied to a specific program or level of play you are targeting.
Key Dates and Deadlines
NCAA contact windows, evaluation periods, signing day timelines, and your own family decision points. Missing these is avoidable with a calendar built around recruiting.
Recruiting Stage and Next Steps
Know what phase of the process your athlete is in — early visibility, active outreach, coach evaluation, or decision-making — and what the most important next actions are in that phase.
How to use it
How to Build Your Plan in URecruit HQ
The workspace is designed to be used in short, regular sessions — not as a one-time setup that collects dust.
-
Build your school list
Start with the programs your family is genuinely interested in. Add division level, position need, and an initial status. You will update this as the process develops.
-
Set up your athlete profile
Add position, graduation year, height, weight, and academic information. Having this in one place makes filling out questionnaires faster and more consistent.
-
Connect your camp schedule
Add upcoming camps and link them to the schools on your list. This shows whether your exposure plan is aligned with your recruiting targets.
-
Log activity regularly
After every coach interaction — a follow, a questionnaire, a text, a call — add it to the log. Five minutes of tracking prevents months of confusion.
-
Review as a family
Set aside time each month to review your school list, update statuses, and decide where to focus energy. The workspace is designed for both athlete and parent to use together.
This takes effort. URecruit HQ does not automate recruiting or handle outreach for you. Families who get the most out of the platform are the ones who use it consistently — logging activity when it happens, reviewing their school list regularly, and treating the workspace as a live document rather than a one-time setup.
