@CoachCahillShow As a parent who's child that participated in several of these camps, & several times @ each, AND work with a "warlord" (who til the day I die I will give the majority of credit to for my son's development & recruitment) I read your article nodding my head the whole time. #Truth

As a school board member, an engineer, a volunteer, a mom, a woman… I never ever thought that I would be taking life advice from football coaches on Twitter! But I do & so should you! @JR_Sandlin @CoachCahillShow #usdLearns #recruiting101 #life101

@CoachCahillShow Really enjoyed this one, it captured a lot of the same opinions/frustrations I (and a number of other parents I know) have developed. Wish it would have been available to read 3 years ago when we started navigating this.....whatever this is.

@MartinDAuthor @CoachCahillShow Great piece. There’re many layers of youth through high school sports that lead up to “blessed to receive” tweets. does that mean someone who didn’t get an offer is not blessed? An offer could be announced as “thank you _____ for the offer” Or not announced at all. (Gasp)

Recruiting Rumors is completely ad-free and funded by subscribers like you. While Twitter is where a lot of great ideas get tossed around on sports performance, college recruiting and leadership, it is horrible at complexity and nuance. You can expect an unfiltered, in-depth and methodically thought out piece in your inbox 4x a week.

About Brendan Cahill

Over The Line is written by me, Brendan Cahill.

For the past decade I was a teacher having taught overseas as a US Peace Corps Volunteer in Ukraine, first grade in Brooklyn, New York, and then high school history in both inner city New Haven, CT and the posh suburbs of the New York City Area.

During this time, I also developed a coaching and consulting business where, as a former college kicker, I got to learn from NFL Super Bowl and Pro Bowl kickers, punters and snappers while helping high school kickers and punters better navigate their college recruiting process.

I’m putting these eclectic experiences as a teacher, coach and consultant for the past decade to work to deliver a newsletter that is worth your time and attention.
