Testimonial of the Month: Chas Robino, Class of 2011, UMASS Commit

Chris Meade, Co-Founder of LacrosseRecruits.com @ 5:14 pm

Chas Robino, Class of 2011, Wilmington, DE, Committed to UMass

Gentleman -

"My wife and I are very pleased to have become acquainted with you and your firm early in our son's high school sophomore year. You provided a superior initial consultation, laying ground-work of what was to come in our son's recruiting process....and it really is quite a process. From your initial consult, you took us through (step by step) what to do and what to expect from college coaches. Also, your personal accessibility was awesome and kept us (and our son) our our toes in terms of timing of email communications with coaches and setting performance benchmarks in the classroom.
 
Attempting to find college websites, coaches addresses was a headache. Your technology and the Lacrosse Recruits website made the process fun and interesting for our family from day 1. One of the biggest assets for us was finalizing a highlight video. With the gold package we purchased, your editors poured through sixteen (16) high school game films,  put together a highlight reel and inserted the same onto our sons profile within a week. I thought that was worth the value of our whole package. The athletic and academic profiles of your site were easy to navigate/ compose and essential to allow coaches immediate access to our son's statistics, transcripts, awards and film.  We finalized said profile within 30 minutes and started emailing coaches shortly after that.  What a great tool !!
 
We strongly recommend www.lacrosserecruits.com ....if you have lacrosse student / athlete who aspires to play in college, it's simply the way to go."
 
All the Best,
 
Charles & Valerie Robino

Testimonial of the Month: Joe Costigan, Class of 2011, UNC Commit

Chris Meade, Co-Founder of LacrosseRecruits.com @ 6:09 pm

Joe Costigan, Class of 2011, New Canaan, CT, Committed to UNC

"We were fortunate to become involved with LacrosseRecruits.com early in the recruiting process.  The most helpful aspect to Joe and us as parents was to have a place to go that had consolidated resources.  Finding college's websites and head / asst. coach email addresses was one click away vs. navigating each college site.  Huge time-saver!  Our biggest use, however, was in creating and updating highlight video.  Matt and Chris were so helpful and responsive to our "time-sensitive" needs.  Joe took what we had for footage and identified clips. Then we sent the multiple DVD's to the LacrosseRecruits.com video staff and they pulled it all together for us........and then connected it to Joe's profile.  We can only imagine how cumbersome this process must have been for athletes and coaches just a few years ago. If a coach that was checking Joe out didn't want to wait for the copy in the mail, they could just click online from wherever they were...........home, office, on the road. We whole-heartedly recommend LacrosseRecuits.com to anyone interested in playing at the college level.  You need to stay plugged in and on top of the timeline...........Matt, Chris and their staff were always one quick phone call or email away with the very best guidance."

Testimonial of the Month: Ryan DeSimone, Villanova Commit

Chris Meade, Co-Founder of LacrosseRecruits.com @ 8:40 pm

Ryan DeSimone, Class of 2011, Smithtown East, NY, Committed to Villanova

"I just wanted to drop you an email and tell you without Lacrosse Recruits the process of Ryan finding a perfect fit for him would not have been possible.  While he had the opportunity to play lacrosse with the Long Island Express which enabled him to be seen, it was the Lacrosse Recruits website which enabled us to tell all the coaches where he would be playing.  He would use the Lacrosse Recruits website to keep coaches updated to even what field we would be on the next day. The player profile was essential to the process to allow the coaches access to his transcripts, stats and awards.  It made it easy to provide coaches with the answers to all the information they were looking for on the questionnaires. Again, thank you and I'm looking forward to using it again with my 11 year old in a few years."

Thanks, Joe DeSimone

Testimonial of the Month: Shauna Pugliese, Notre Dame Commit

Chris Meade, Co-Founder of LacrosseRecruits.com @ 1:37 pm

Shauna Pugliese, Class of 2011, Webster Schroeder, NY, Committed to Notre Dame

"Having gone through a recruiting cycle for my son without having lacrosserecruits, we really appreciate what your service provides.  It made the recruiting process for my daughter so much more manageable.  It is especially helpful to have all of your information in one place so that you don't have to continuously send out DVDs, transcripts, camp information, etc.  I think the coaches particularly liked being able to watch my daughter play just by going to your web site.  The fact that you respond to all questions about your service/site by email so quickly is fantastic.  We were never left hanging or waiting for an answer about anything.  Not having to search for all the coaches emails is also a big plus.  Anyway, my daughter was thrilled to commit to Notre Dame just recently so we are done for now.  Thanks for your help in getting there.  I hope you guys are a huge success!"
 
Sincerely,
 
Scott Pugliese
