Short advice transcript offering four essential questions recruits should ask college football coaches: whether the coach is still recruiting the recruit's position, where the recruit stands on the coaches' board, what the next concrete steps in the recruiting process are, and whether the coach sees the recruit as a scholarship player. The speaker emphasizes clarity, developing a relationship before probing ranking, and preferring definite answers over vague invitations.

Number three is a must ask question. You must ask every single coach you have a conversation with. Number one, are you still recruiting for my position? This is just a good baseline question because this will give you a clear idea if you should continue the conversation with a coach or not. And remember, if they say no, that's completely fine. You know not to waste your time with that school anymore. Number two, where am I at on your guys board? This will hopefully give you a good idea of what the coach thinks of you. Though to be honest, you're usually not going to get a straightforward answer. So this is one of the situations I recommend putting on a BS detector. And also you should have a pretty good relationship prior to asking that kind of question. Number three, what are the next steps in the recruiting process? Is a must ask question. Most conversations end with no clear next step. Usually you're just going to get a vague invitation to a visit. That never happens. So instead get clear next steps and your recruiting will go 10 times smoother. Number four, do you see me as a scholarship player? Great straightforward question that will see if the school is worth your time because a no is better than maybe. Hope these questions help if you're looking for more direct one on one help with the recruiting process.
