Short YouTube monologue by Trenton Luera discussing whether NCSA (Next College Student Athlete) is worth the cost. The speaker discloses a personal bias (helps recruits) and relays parents' feedback: NCSA functions more as a tool for basic recruiting education and profiles rather than a guaranteed recruiting service; accessibility and responsiveness can be issues. The speaker concludes it may not be worth it for football but could have more value for individual sports (e.g., golf, tennis).

So this is a great question. Is NCSA worth it? You did spell it wrong, Gavin. But it's okay. I know what you mean. So, first off, I am a little biased. I do help recruits get recruited and do my own thing, so you can take my words with a grain of salt. But this is just some actual takes that I've had from parents that I've actually worked with and worked with ncsa. Now, I did not personally work with ncsa, but from what I've heard from parents that I've worked with, some from other people, I've heard it referred to as much more of a tool. They're not necessarily going to get you recruited. They have recruiting profiles and you can send emails through their plat and stuff. But much of it is like educational stuff, really basic stuff on how to get recruited. I know that sometimes it'll sound like a recruiting coach and you can hop on calls with them and stuff like that and hopefully get some good advice, but it sounds like, you know, sometimes that's a little wishy washy too. I know one of the parents was saying that it was hard to even get in touch with them in the first place. My thought with football is that it's not really worth it. I think if you're like, you're doing a different sport, if you're doing like, you know, golf or like tennis, if you're doing like.
