NCSA Athletic Recruiting Reviews

by Dustin Cognetti

The service NCSA offers is a complete waste of money! Being a college football players the most significant thing we need is exposure. Currently, my profile has had 42 NAIA, D3 D2 views in the last four years. Other sites (that come way cheaper) such as myrecruitboard (one I saw on Twitter for the low price of $75 for about 6 months of service) have been way more beneficial to me and has allowed over 270 division one coaches to view my profile, some requested I fill questionnaires while others got my contact info. Your other option (if not recruited the way you want out of high school) would be the junior college route. Find yourself an elite junior college and be successful there, school is cheaper, and if you perform well, you will get that offer you want. Juco is the route I took, the connections my coaches have allowed me to gain a division one offer in the big sky conference. The other offer I received through the free site of Twitter. SAVE YOUR MONEY! Every college coach would advise against these kinds of service. The only option you have camps, they are costly but if you have the money spend away!!!

It’s not hard to play college football. Send your highlights to coach’s of D3 schools and have good grades and boom. But to go D1 just have your coach’s help you out and if you’re good enough you’ll have a offer. Apps a waste of time and the coach’s are fake. Like they are the official coach’s it’s just NCSAAthleticRecruiting emailing you acting like them. Don’t waste your time and money. Plus they said if I don’t pay the $75 I’ll be working at McDonald’s the rest of my life. Go bad because I got D1 offers and that doesn’t seem logical. So keep your $75 and spend it on all the gear to make your swag match your game!!

NCSAAthleticRecruiting allows you to see what coaches are looking at you but it did absolutely nothing to get me a scholarship. I got a scholarship offer completely on my own with out any help from NCSA. Essentially I just wasted a large amount of money on a useless service. I would not recommend NCSAAthleticRecruiting because they’re not doing anything that you’re not already doing yourself.

I literally have my passwords and usernames saved for both my basketball and track profiles. But when I go to log in to them they don’t work. All of a sudden it can’t find my usernames and my passwords are wrong. I’ve tried calling NCSAAthleticRecruiting and the representative who help me set everything up and both of the numbers all of a sudden aren’t in service. I’m glad I didn’t pay any money for this nonsense.

I used to use this through my freshman year and then this past year I had to uninstall NCSAAthleticRecruiting due to storage, and I tried to download it back and I had all my accounts information and it just won’t let me back in. I’ve spent hours and even called trying to figure out why it won’t work... I’m officially a senior now and I don’t have time to waste on it.

While NCSAAthleticRecruiting can be helpful to athletes that are trying to play a sport at any level, it is extremely over priced for what you get out of it. All the information I have obtained through recruiting was more so thanks to their Instagram page rather than spending thousands just to be able to post a few videos and have a “recruiter” give you a call when he feels like it. Plus, if you’re good at sports, college coaches will help you through the process and make your life a lot easier. All in all, save your money and time and just email or text coaches through social media to get your name out their. P.s, this is coming from a Florida State commit :)

Won’t keep push notification settings on. Once you get one, it shuts them off! So turn them on again and it will turn them off once you get another.

Also you can’t access the resource library under NCSA University. It should be to the right of the video library (like it is on the website) but it doesn’t exist on NCSAAthleticRecruiting at all.

Help is a blank screen that won’t let you type into it. So no help there!

by Brookers1958

Great program! But, NCSAAthleticRecruiting itself is no where near as good as the online version. NCSAAthleticRecruiting is slow and it does not show what college followed you or even beige you a little preview of an email a college may have sent you. But the program is amazing! I have definitely made a lot of progress in my recruiting due to the ease of access to everything that NCSA provides for me. The process for recruiting is much faster. Just NCSAAthleticRecruiting needs more work.

by Blaksatan

Being recruited it not as hard as you would think. It is no where close to easy and it is stressful, so NCSAAthleticRecruiting is a good starting point. From my mistake I will tell you that it is not worth the money. Use it to organize your colleges and maybe get a coach to check it out or get camp invites, but thats not how you get recruited. All you have to do is have some good highlights, some colleges in mind and message some coaches on twitter. Twitter is where I got a coach to actually respond, get his cell, and get recruited. I am gonna play D3 football next year so if you are trying to go D1, i am not the guy to talk to. Be yourself, and send your film to as many coaches as you can, there is a college for you.

by Waxwarrior

great app, but it has two big issues

1) when coaches send emails with pictures, it will show the left half of the email (words and pictures) and you have to view it on a laptop to see the whole thing. very annoying.

2) less annoying, but still an issue: often when I read a message it will not mark it as read so it says I have like 40 unread messages when in reality most of those are from weeks ago. It doesn’t do this every time though.

by JSet20

New update is nice but feedback option is buggy and so is favorites page. Feedback you can proceed after picking part of page you want to make note of. Favorites page is hard to scroll through without screen blinking and causing you to move around school list.

by Peyton7😆

It’s a good recruiting app but PLEASE make Physical Therapy an intended major you can select. That isn’t an option and when I’m lookin for colleges I have to click on the college profile and search their academics the scroll all the way down to see if they have Physical Therapy.

by Soccer_Fan_12

I use NCSAAthleticRecruiting for convenience but the prior app had the badge icon that never went away which the update was to fix that bug, now it doesn’t show the badge icon at all. I have to log-in & go to my dashboard to view any new activity which isn’t a huge deal but just be aware, app is still buggy.

by Reagan Barbe

Whenever I try to turn on push notifications, the sliders are grayed out, so it basically isn’t allowing me to receive notifications unless I open NCSAAthleticRecruiting and check all the time. I’ve missed a couple messages already and don’t want this to keep happening. Can this issue be fixed?

by BigD8169

I used to see activity/ notifications on my lock/home screen on my iPhone and then I don’t, I have to open app to see my activity, I have all push notifications on in your settings and still nothing. Please fix!

by Oregonduckfan35

For iOS, I have notifications turned on, however NCSAAthleticRecruiting does not notify my via sound, badge icon, or screen notification. Can this please be updated in the next release?

Thank You

by Ledacious

The best app in the industry by far. It allows quick access to coaches and info of each college right at my finger tips. Small glitches with notifications but doesn’t ruin NCSAAthleticRecruiting and it’s purpose. The best advantage to NCSA is it allows your son or daughter the opportunity to speak and correspond with D2 and below coaches from all over the US.

NCSA allowed multiple D1 schools to contact me and talk with me and I recently received an offer from my dream school and I couldn’t be more thankful for the staff at NCSA for allowing this to come true. Hope all other dedicated athletes find the same future that I did

by Amarst

I am currently using this website to help me be recruited by colleges. The staff is very friendly and helpful. It’s free to create a profile and a one on one conciliation is provided. I do have to say the website is better than NCSAAthleticRecruiting but NCSAAthleticRecruiting allows for easy checking and changing of your profile. This website allows for you to email coach’s, see what coaches viewed your profile, and many other benefits you wouldn’t have otherwise.

by Xhhdhrvfjx

I’ve had NCSAAthleticRecruiting for about 1 month now and have noticed that the staff that reaches out and everyone else that asks if I need help setting up my profile is nice but I feel like you shouldn’t have to complete 100% your profile to start being suggested and seen. Also another small thing is when you are going to tell them about yourself and you have to fill out bench press. The lowest weight u can go is only 185. I personally bench 150 for 2 reps which for my 202 body weight Im happy with. I feel like you should at least have it down to 135 though. Other than that, NCSAAthleticRecruiting is amazing and great so far

by Hicatfan

NCSAAthleticRecruiting is not user friendly and is buggy, it currently won’t open...spinning wheel never stops...App needs to be completely revised! Not happy with the service I paid for - in total and up front — we never got inquiries based on what we outlined —- inquiries were junior colleges and D2 & D3, NAIA, etc... After we received their survey, we requested a full refund - never heard from them again!

by SammyA224

App won’t launch and won’t even load. I go into NCSAAthleticRecruiting and it gives me the loading symbol and after I close NCSAAthleticRecruiting and even after updates it gives me the message that there is an error. Running is not smooth with NCSAAthleticRecruiting and website is much better

by LJ717413

Up until recently, NCSAAthleticRecruiting was great. A few weeks ago it all of a sudden logged me out and would not accept my email or password to log back in. It seemed like an NCSA rep was able to fix it yesterday and now again today it has logged me out and will not let me back in. Is this a bug? Is there a fix? This is extremely frustrating.

by G Sleepy

When I first got NCSAAthleticRecruiting , it was great, I paid for the premium features, but now I can’t even log in. It tells me incorrect password and I try to reset the password, it just takes me to a page that says, “we are having equipment issues at the moment”

by Elizjer

The notifications about emails show up 4-5 hours after the email has been received. The notifications used to be close to real time and need to be fixed.

by Jbreeding

On my home screen, even after going into NCSAAthleticRecruiting and viewing all new activity the number still appears next to the apps icon. Sometime later, it will randomly go away.

Also, reading emails from NCSAAthleticRecruiting is impossible because the right margin is cutting off nearly 1/3 of all sentences. Zooming in or out does nothing to fix problem.

On an iPhone 6S running iOS 11.4.1
NCSA App is version 3.0.4

Please address and advise

Sincerely,

James Breeding

This version is much better than prior versions. Two bits of feedback…when looking at the list of my colleges, it’s difficult to scroll without changing the location of the colleges within the list. Also, it’s unclear how to refresh the dashboard. I can swipe down, but there’s no progress icon or anything to indicate if the page is refreshing.

by Jen193642

NCSAAthleticRecruiting has helped me find which schools are right for me and what level I should play at. Almost all of my college contact has been through NCSAAthleticRecruiting.
