In this episode, Dan Tudor talks with strength and conditioning coach Angelo Gingerelli.

Angelo has coached at the college level for more than two decades, and is currently Assistant Strength and Conditioning Coordinator at Seton Hall University, and published the book “Finish Strong: Resistance Training for Endurance Athletes”. His new book, "The Next Four Years: Compete, Win and Thrive in College Sports", is focused on helping emerging college athletes develop a solid understanding of what it's going to take to succeed as a college athlete, from the weight room, to NIL and the Transfer Portal.

Angelo talks with Dan Tudor about his observations about this generation, what motivates them, and what college coaches can do to utilize their strength and conditioning program in the recruiting process.

In this episode, Dan Tudor talks about details coaches like to give while they are recruiting their Gen Z prospects - and why so many aspects of that approach is wrong.

To aid in the discussion, Dan plays part of a conversation he had with a college coach who was leading with some details that may not have been the best choice, and he gives examples of how to talk about details, facts and information the right way (and, what kind of details really matter to recruits).

Brian Cruver is an accomplished tech entrepreneur who has a son that was getting recruited to play D1 football. Watching the process of his evaluation by coaches, and the process they used to take him through the process, surprised him...it seemed haphazard and disorganized.

On this episode of the College Recruiting Weekly podcast, we talk to Cruver who has launched the new tech tool called Scorability in the wake of his son's recruiting process. It is designed to give coaches a more precise, measured evaluation tool when scouting and recruiting athletes...and it's pretty cool.

Beyond that, he also has some good observations about the process, and what needs to be changed. He'll tell you his thoughts, and outline his new venture, in this episode.

With details of the House settlement beginning to take shape, we ask the question:

Are athletic departments around the country ready for the inevitable results of this landmark legislation? It will change funding, budgets, recruiting - and especially, the employment status of college student-athletes.

So with all those changes coming quickly over the horizon, we wanted to bring back Katie Davis, CPA and Partner at James Moore, a national firm that works with college campuses and athletic departments on budgetary issues, NIL strategy, and operational initiatives.

In this episode we talk about the House settlement, what it means for college athletic departments, how some of their clients are adjusting their financial approach, and what coaches, AD's and college leadership say they're preparing for in the coming months and years as a result of this landmark change in the way things are done around the country.
