College Sports Connections

Pat McInally and I were honored to receive a very nice letter this week. Here are a few excerpts:

I had no idea about recruiting and was blundering through the process with little to no success. Just a few months before the start of football season, our son had received no interest from any football programs. Luckily, this is when we met Pat and Bert and by the end of his senior football season he received seven scholarship offers, all within the geographic area he desired!

In an industry that is full of recruiting programs, recruiting coaches, and online recruiting services, it’s rare to find the real deal. Pat is a genuine bona fide football expert who is also one of the nicest and most genuine people I have ever known
It’s rare to find someone with a clearly defined value system who is also adept at the nuance and achievement skills required to function as a high performing consultant.

College Sports Connections is one of the top in their industry. I highly recommend letting Pat and Bert help your son achieve his dream!

Congratulations to Joe Pyle as he signed today with Southeast Missouri State. Joe is an outstanding Quarterback who was All-Conference in 2017 at Golden West College with an average of 376 yards per game in conference play. The 6-2 220 native of Fallon Nevada will take his talents to the Ohio Valley Conference's SEMO Redhawks this Spring. Great job, Joe!
