Hey y'all! So, I'm a high school junior thinking about playing at HBCU. I heard about the Dallas HBCU Classic and was wondering if it's a big recruitment event for athletes? Does it offer a good opportunity to get noticed by coaches or should I focus my efforts elsewhere? Any advice or personal experiences would be super helpful.
Hey! As someone who's been through the athletic recruiting process with my kid recently, I definitely think attending the Dallas HBCU Classic could be beneficial. From my experience, these kinds of events are great for making connections and letting coaches see you play in person. Especially if you're aiming to play at an HBCU, showing your skills at a specific event like this might give you an edge. Plus, it's an excellent chance to meet coaches and ask them what they're looking for in recruits. My child spoke directly to coaches at similar events and it really paid off. They gained valuable insights and ultimately a spot on a college team! Just make sure to take along your highlight reel or any stats you have to share with interested coaches. Good luck!
