<p>has a long post by MJP that outlines the general procedure. I realize that the process at your schools will likely be less intense but it’s a good starting point as far as the general interaction with coaches.</p>
<p>If you are looking for 2010, realize its pretty late in the game as most of the heavy recruiting/help is done through ED/EA. I suggest you e-mail the coaches ASAP with your academic and athletic information, and call them in a few days if you don’t hear from them.</p>
<p>Generally with the schools where sports are not a big deal, thought seems to be that sports will help you like a good extra-curricular will. With all else being equal, it will help you stand out, so get on it.</p>
