Agreed. There were countless meetings at which we gave coaches unofficial transcripts and college CVs. We were then asked to fill out the questionnaire. The coach had no clue that we had already completed the questionnaire, so it is up for grabs how often coaches look at questionnaires…
How could it help in recruiting? It’s a filing cabinet. If the coach is looking for a midfielder with at least a 29 ACT, the questionnaires could help locate someone who fits the bill. For a recruit, however, it’s a low percentage recruiting tool. Nothing beats the gumshoe reaching out to the coach repeatedly, unofficially meeting with the coach, and being seen at showcases. If all you do is complete the questionnaire, do not expect to be recruited. That said, it is a good place to start. Complete it, get it off your plate and move onto the more important communications with the coach.
