On today's episode of the College Recruiting Weekly podcast, Dan Tudor outlines some recent research that he first presented at the 2016 American Volleyball Coaches Association convention that reveals what the most recent class of college athletes wants in an overall recruiting message that they receive from coaches.

He outlines five key categories that every coach should know about when they are constructing their recruiting strategy, and what the right "balance" should be with each category of your story.

Also, Dan talks about some recent athlete protest news, as well as a handful of football players deciding to skip their team's bowl game in favor of staying healthy and preparing for their pro career. Is that a smart move, or a selfish one? We want your comments on Twitter...just tag @dantudor and join in the conversation.

Also, we talk about making Tudor University, and why that might be a smart new year's resolution for college coaches to make as we head into the new year. Here's the details on why you should consider it, Coach:
