		<description><![CDATA[ I had the opportunity to sit down with Bethel College (IN) men&#8217;s basketball coach Mike Lightfoot this week to talk recruiting and the value of playing college sports.

		<description><![CDATA[ Any relationship/friendship if it is to be beneficial to both parties must be based upon trust and loyalty. This quality definitely applies to your relationship with the coach that is recruiting you.

		<description><![CDATA[When a student-athlete tells me that their sport is their &#8220;life,&#8221; I usually take it with a grain of salt. But sometimes, kids do get so worked up with their sport that schooling kind of takes a back seat. To counteract this mania, Northshore High School in Louisiana is requiring all football players to take [...]]]></description>

5 Star, 4 Star, No Star, What does it all mean?  It can mean a lot in the recruiting world or it can mean nothing at all.  Highly ranked players often end up with many scholarship offers early in the process, but under the radar recruits still have their place with major college programs.  Penn [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Character matters in recruiting.  Virtually every college coach you talk to will tell you that he tries his best to do a thorough background check on every incoming recruit.  Athletes need to understand that the search doesn&#8217;t just end with talking to your parents, coaches, and teachers.  These days that search extends to the Internet [...]]]></description>
