Your kid isn't getting recruited. And it's probably not for the reason you think.

A 4.0 student can be ineligible for the NCAA. A five-star talent can lose his spot to a "glue guy." And that $3,000 exposure tournament you just paid for? One Power Four coach compares it to waiting 90 minutes for a three-minute Disney ride.

In this two-part compilation, Todd Arkell sits down with recruiting coordinators and compliance experts from Michigan, Oregon, Boston College, William & Mary, Sam Houston State, and more — to tell parents and athletes the truth nobody at the showcase is telling them.

Inside the episode:

• Why "competitiveness" beats raw skill — every time
• The Parent Trap: how driving the bus is costing your kid the scholarship
• The Core GPA most families don't know exists until it's too late
• How the Transfer Portal is quietly shrinking the high school class of 2027
• The four-question gut check before your kid signs anything

Featuring Jake Valentine (Michigan), Tracy Joyner (Oregon), Rob McCoy (William & Mary), Beth Krysiak (Boston College), David Wood (Sam Houston State), Bo Wills (Southern Indiana), Mike Eversole (Akron), Shaquana Miller (NextPlay Athletics), and Walter Beede (player advisor)
