NCAA Acted Swiftly on Penn State Case

I've discussed it on the radio all this week and the only thing I can say is I can't remember the NCAA moving so quickly while administering so much punishment.

The NCAA decision on Penn State was the right one. They can't let an institutional cover-up prevail. From the head coach to the athletic director and so many other people involved with the Penn State program, justice had to be served.

The decision also shows that the NCAA wants to make sure everybody knows they have all the power and control, cross them at your own peril.

College Recruiting: Speed is King in Sports

Here is a picture from the Georgia Southern football day camp in Gwinnett county. As you can see, the coaches are checking the speed on the 40 yard dash. If you don't have speed, you are most likely being eliminated from recruiting and you probably won't figure it out until its too late.

NCAA Bans 10 Schools for Post Season Play

The NCAA's new academic requirements could give new meaning to the madness of March.

A record 10 men's basketball teams, including three-time national champion Connecticut, will be banned from next season's NCAA tournament because of subpar work in the classroom. 

UConn becomes the first school from a "big six" conference to face a postseason ban in either of the two most prominent college sports based solely on the annual Academic Progress Rate scores, which the NCAA released Wednesday.

Georgia Gets Verbal from Rico Johnson

Wide receiver Rico Johnson, a prospect from Swainsboro, Ga. who sat out his junior season due to high school eligiblity sanctions, was rewarded for his patience Saturday when he received an offer from Georgia head coach Mark Richt.

Johnson accepted, fulfilling a dream that had been momentarily deferred by his time spent off the football field.

"Coach Mark Richt offered me and I cried and said I was ready to be a UGA Bulldog," Johnson said. "I said it was my biggest dream and he asked if I spoke to my family, and I said that is what they want me to do. He said, 'Welcome to the family,' and gave me a big hug."

The 5-foot-11 wide receiver and cornerback prospect had to prove that he had the size and athleticism to compete at the collegiate level, despite not having much tape to show prospective schools.

But he answered those questions with an impressive performance at the Mark Richt Camp, where he posted unofficial 40-yard dash times of 4.25 and 4.28, along with a 10-foot, 6-inch broad jump.

Vandy Gets Receiver Carlos Burse from Alpharetta High

Vanderbilt earned a commitment from one of the state’s top overall prospects on Thursday.

Carlos Burse, a 6-foot-3, 205-pound wide receiver from Alpharetta High School, picked Vanderbilt over Mississippi State among around 20 football scholarship offers, which also included Florida, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Virginia Tech. He’s ranked as a 4-star by Rivals.

“It was the academics mainly, and I wanted to build my own little legacy over there,” Burse said. “Vanderbilt showed me the most interest.”

Burse is a two-sport star, averaging nearly 20 points in basketball at Alpharetta. He was recruited by colleges in both sports, but will focus on football at Vanderbilt.

College Recruiting Camp--Atlanta

The College Recruiting Camp is a fun and interactive seminar for both the parents and the high school athlete who want to play at the college level.

This is a free informational event for parents and high school athletes. The event will be lead by Jay Holgate, a regional scout for Metro Atlanta. Jay is also a frequent guest on sports radio around the South.

 The goal is to help parents better understand the recruiting process, how the NCAA works and help your athlete get on track to get a college scholarship as early as possible.

 Register Today! 

According to the NCAA, only 2% of high school athletes receive a college scholarship. Competition for athletic scholarships is at an all-time high. Therefore it is necessary to use every advantage available to get ahead of the pack.

Many players believe they are being recruited because they have received a lot of recruiting materials. Unfortunately that is a fallacy that leads many high school athletes into complacency and no offers being presented.

The game is rigged to a certain degree favoring Championship high schools. But it's time to level the playing field.

If your child wants to play college sports, it's time to get serious, focused and committed. Now is the time to act!

This seminar will be the first step in improving exposure, connecting to college coaches and getting on the right track to securing a college scholarship. Limited seats available for this event.

No admittance at event without pre-registration. Additonal speaking request may be sent to jholgate@nsr-inc.com
