Frequently Asked Questions
How are you different from other recruiting services?
First and foremost, we are NOT a recruiting service. Most recruiting services are built on building your profile, creating your video and emailing coaches. They sell based on doing things for you.
Our philosophy is completely different. Everything we do is based on how college coaches actually recruit. College coaches are recruiting YOU, not us. Our job is to help you identify your skill level, create your recruiting game plan, help you execute that game plan, and then be there as a guide and consultant during the entire journey!
How do you know how colleges recruit?
Our process comes from years of being on the other side of the recruiting fence. CageRat founder, Tad Reida, has spent time as the assistant coach recruiting for both West Virginia University as well as the Air Force Academy. His knowledge and experiences, including close connections with current coaches, forms the foundation of our program.
How do you help potential recruits remotely?
We help you create an individualized recruiting plan based on your current skill level. Then we help you execute that plan (coaches want to hear from YOU, as that is who they are recruiting, not us!). We serve you as a guide and consultant to provide support as you are executing the plan, help you make adjustments as necessary, and answer any questions that come up.
If my son isn't recruited/committed by Junior year is it too late?
Absolutely not! So many services out there give people the high-pressured sales tactic to get them to buy their high-priced products. For 99% of all athletes, the Junior year is when the true recruiting phase actually starts.
Here is a quick version of how the process works: Big schools (SEC, ACC, Pac 12, Big 12, etc) start committing players first….usually as Freshman and Sophomores. Then, small and mid-majors start to commit players at the end of their Sophomore year and as Juniors and Seniors. Then, non-D1 schools (D2, D3, NAIA, Junior College, etc) recruit Juniors and Seniors (Seniors mostly).
Should my son attend certain camps or showcases?
Unfortunately, most families are throwing money at camps hoping it is a good camp to go to without truly knowing. One of the best (and cost-effective) parts of our service is the fact you can ask us any question. This includes: is this camp, showcase, or team going to help my son get to the next level? We can help you identify the best camps/showcases to go to and teams to play on, sometimes saving you thousands of dollars in registration fees.
What other ways do you help on the recruiting journey?
Our video analysis and hitting progression plan has become very popular. This is included in our “Yearly + Videos” package. With it, you will receive 4 sessions which can be utilized at any point during the year. We will analyze your video and give you specific drills you can utilize. Each analysis will be a stepping stone on the analysis before.
This will help create a very powerful, efficient swing that will work at a high level. After you have utilized your 4 video sessions, you have the opportunity to purchase more.
Okay, I'm ready to sign up. What's next?
Once you decide to bring us aboard your team and register/pay, you will receive a welcome email with clear instructions for player information you need to send us. Then you can set up your initial video call (or phone call) with us to create your game plan. In that call we provide you with actionable items to work on.
Once the initial phase is over, we are available for ongoing e-mail and phone/video calls to continue to engaging in the process, advise slight changes to your plan, and make sure you are moving towards goals. And, of course, to answer any questions you have.
