My D is a recruited D3 athlete, in another sport. No college coaches every came to see her play for her HS team. They all saw her play at tournaments with her AAU team. After they expressed interest and D decided it was a school she was interested in she attended the ID/elite camp at the college. By then, D had had several phone calls, many emails and had already met the college coach. The coaches also wanted a link to game film. We did our own film and paid professionals to take film. Most coaches were happy enough with highlights, but some also wanted an entire game.
