BeRecruited.com - Seattle, WA
By Rob | May 6, 2007
Top tier basketball and football players are recruited years before they graduate high school. College teams have legions of scouts out searching for the best talent. But what if you don’t play one of those sports? What if you play soccer, lacrosse, softball, or one of the many other sports that offer scholarships, but don’t have big recruiting budgets? BeRecruited.com was created to help in those situations.
BeRecruited was started by Ryan Spoon, a swimmer at Duke University. Ryan’s goal is to make the recruiting process more efficient and more effective for high school athletes and NCAA coaches by using technology to bring them together.
