Knowledge

What actually
matters.

The recruiting landscape moves faster than most families can read. Resources is the page where 12 Sports Consulting points families at the things that actually matter. Timing. The roadmap. The camps worth the trip. The vocabulary. The questions worth tracking and the ones not worth the worry. The shifts under the surface.

Editorial

Industry Insights

Articles, summaries, and commentary on NIL, revenue sharing, the transfer portal, recruiting trends, and the broader shifts shaping college football recruiting. The goal is to help families understand what these changes mean and how they may affect recruiting strategy.

A resource page built to subtract, not add.

There is no shortage of recruiting content online. What families lack is judgment about which of it actually matters.

12 Sports Consulting approaches this page the way it approaches the advisory itself: less, but the right less.
