How to get on Panola’s radar

• Junior college programs often recruit later than four-year schools: many fill their rosters during a player's junior and senior years of high school and the summer after graduation.
• Email the head coach directly with your video, measurables, grades and where you're playing next. At smaller staffs the head coach usually handles recruiting.
• Junior college is a proven path: two years of development and playing time, then a chance to move on to a four-year program. Ask Panola where their recent players have signed.
• Watch for fall and winter prospect camps. They're often the most direct way to get evaluated by a junior college staff.
