Laurie Richter e-mailed me after a recent column about Charlie Adams' presentation on recruiting at Wheeler High School. Her son plays basketball for reigning Division III national champion Washington University in St. Louis, and said she was shocked at how complicated the recruiting process was for the average parents. As a result, she interviewed families and college coaches and wrote a guidebook to help parents get through the process. It's called: "Put Me In, Coach: A Parent's Guide to Winning the Game of College Recruiting". Here's a link: (www.collegesportsrecruitingbook.com). Richter also published an ebook of recruiting tips to go along with it -- "The Recruiting Companion for College Sports: Over 100 Winning Tips." Both can also be found on Amazon. "As useful as these recruiting seminars are -- I went to several when we were in the middle of it -- I have found that parents really seem to connect with what another parent has gone through so I have received very positive response to the introduction of the book," Richter wrote. The book has also been endorsed by Texas football coach Mack Brown and retired Texas women's basketball coach Jody Conradt, who both know a thing or two about recruiting. "Just wanted to let you know that there are other resources out there to help folks manage the recruiting process, especially for all the second-tier kids who won't get the recruiting attention that the blue chippers get," Richter wrote. "And it's usually too late when they figure out where they are in the pecking order." -- Jim Peters
