The Recruitables Database:  Submitting, Editing and Claiming Ownership of Entries

The Recruitables section is anchored by a searchable database of potential student athletes. There are also sections for Commits and Newcomers, which are separately maintained from the database.   

Before Getting Started

Registration

Anyone can submit a new entry for consideration or offer additional information up on an existing entry.  However, only athletes, parents, recruiting services or club coaches can own an entry and make edits on their own.  To do so, you must first register a user account with the site and log into your account.  Site registration is required in order to maintain password access to your entry.  By doing so, you agree to the site terms of use, the privacy policy, and have read the special policies on the database.
