Your page overall looks really good, and contains a lot of useful information. It would look more professional if you inserted the links/resources into the actual information. Also, I'd add in internal links, since there are a lot of terms you use that I'm sure have already existing wikipages. For example "NCAA" "letter of intent" and "college basketball". Also, does scout.com have a page? Because that would be a good link to include also. Under the "Rules" bullet, you might want to give a few examples of the rules, perhaps as they pertain to different sports...

good luck!! (Rachelp87 (talk) 19:01, 23 March 2009 (UTC))

In order to organize the links with the corresponding information simply add <0ref>BIBLIOGRAPHY STYLE CITATION</ref> (remove the 0) at the end of the text you want to cite. I think you should try to expand on some of the sections, more specifically the "Process" and "Rules" section. For the "Process" section you could talk about exactly how recruiting works as in what steps are involved and for the "Rules" section I think you could include some information (possibly in subcategories) about the rules of various sports in specific. I believe that one of the main strengths of the article is the way in which it is divided into 5 different sections. The main weakness that I noticed was that most of the sections are very short (2 sentences or less). In looking at the http://www.ncaa.org/wps/ncaa?ContentID=271 link you included I noticed that the site contains tons of information that could be used to expand your article by elaborating on a few individual sports etc. Also, in viewing the 2 article links I noticed that both were current articles (one published on 1/27/09 and the other on 2/3/09) posted on credible sites and that they contained some very valuable information to include in your article such as middle school recruitment. Your article does not seem to have a bias to it, mostly factual information. Overall, this is a good article that needs a little elaboration.

Dwhoyle (talk) 12:31, 25 March 2009 (UTC) Nick, you picked a very interesting topic! It was already mentioned, but I also think that your page would benefit if you expanded the "Process" and "Rules" section. You have a good introduction started about the "Overview," but it needs more as well. Under "Rules," it would help to have the link in that section that you are referring to. Images also always add something to a page. It looks like you have some good sources, so maybe just add some of that information to your page. Besides those small things, everything looks good- great start so far!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Earmfield (talk • contribs) 04:39, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

The basic layout for the page is a good start. Once the page has the information that needs to be added, just some more elaboration in the sections, it will be going good. I would recommend adding tags and links in the sections. There is a lot of information that can be covered by this topic but there are a lot of useful resources and references that are credible for the topic. Good start and topic. --Bjones4787 (talk) 16:57, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
