Thus my introduction to NCSA. As the father of a son that is a highly recruited QB and a daughter with an up and coming volleyball plans, my wife and I had no clue what to expect and even less of oneon what to do. We took what we learned from Izell and started on the journey. I also signed up for the e-blasts that I would forward to other fathers. I was able to speak with Tom Lemming several times prior to the Army All American Combine and game and learned from him that Chris was coming out with a book on recruiting. I reserved my copy the day we were notified through email. Finally, a manual for all high school athletes. I read it and outlined each chapter and then passed along to my wife. Later, as I made the camp and combine visits with my son, I spoke to many parents about the book and always had my copy to show them. At Notre Dame, a father and I were walking from the football offices to the camp fields. As I was "sharing the Gospel", we rounded the corner and there stood Coach Chmiel. He graciously let me interrupt his conversation and after we talked a few minutes, he took the guy to his car and gave him a copy! I'm sure he has shared with others as well.
