Sports Recruiting with Jeff Howell

I think my brain still lives in the days when I went to school: where scouts and recruiters showed up to see a high school game and assess talent with their own eyes. But that hasn't been the case for many years, and the fact is that you or your kids might never meet face to face with a scout even in they're invited to an excellent program.

Welcome to the Just Dumb Enough Podcast. A show that acknowledges no one is always an expert, by dispelling misconceptions with real experts. 

My guest today is Jeff Howell. Jeff is a man of many hats, and one of those is Athletic Recruiting; specifically at the college level. The information is still valid at all levels, but his bread and butter is working with student athletes attempting to get athletic scholarships. We also break down how to build a highlight reel with no experience and minimal equipment, plus the different NCAA divisions and what that means for a person looking for a school that fits their needs.

Let's get scouted!

This is the last episode of the year. I can't believe we're already here. My brain is so unprepared I'm even rhyming apparently. Anyway, the next episode will have a 2023 retrospective including looking back at the last year as a whole. If you want that and another episode: let me know with  a quick email to [e-mail] since I know it's probably not everyone's cup of tea. 

The final-ish December rankings are: 1. The United States, still led by New York, Oregon, and South Carolina. 2. The United Kingdom, led by England but followed closely by Scotland. 3. Germany, dropping down a spot but held up by Berlin. 4. Canada, with Ontario dominating the other provinces. 5. New Zealand, beating Australia in a total upset right at the end.

That's it for this week, this month, and this year! Have a great week, a great weekend, and I'll see you all back here next year for a new episode! Until the next episode, pretty please do all the things to help the show: rate, review, like, and subscribe.  Reach out to [e-mail] or on any social media if you want to reach me personally.
