Heh. Its Finals week. I've barely been checking Twitter.
 
@huskymedic

I've noticed a trend in tennis over the past 15 years or so that has college coaches asking for video of a given player. It looks like this is also true for other sports, including football.

I have a friend who saw this niche years ago, and now makes good money putting together a player video for whoever comes up with the money. He can make a mediocre tennis player look good with enough film to edit.

Back OT - is this really a thing now? Are coaches and scouts in major sports like fb and bb really making decision based on professionally produced/edited player video?

It is... it's huge business now. There is someone on the BY that actually was/is involved in a company that aggregates for coaches (similar to Hudl) I believe (can't remember who tho but now it will nag on me to remember who). I'm not convinced that offers are made purely on video w/o some vetting through high school coach but I'm quite positive that unsolicited videos open the door.

UCONN & University of Buffalo were at Huron Heights today to see Mathew Goodall!
#GoWarriors

Mathew Goodall is 6-7.5 305 lb OL/DT from Huron Heights Secondary School in Newmarket, Ontario Canada.

There are a couple of Hudl videos out there on him but can't seem to get them linked. Google "#73 Matt Goodall 6-7.5, 300, OL/DT" to view.

247's director of recruiting predicted that UConn lands Sichterman. If I'm not mistaken he also predicted Donovon Williams to UConn last year as well...
 
Given that it's his only D-1 offer, not really going out on a limb there.
