Knowing how college coaches recruit and what they are looking for can make the process less intimidating for prospects.

Our “Recruiting Insider” series features coaches from across the nation sharing their methods of how they identify, scout and communicate with potential recruits.

Today, we hear from Toledo women’s head coach Tracy Mauntler:

What are your primary methods of recruiting?

My primary method of recruiting starts with phone calls followed by watching players at numerous tournaments, and the final step is an official visit to campus. I actually like student-athletes to visit campus twice; first on an unofficial visit then on an official visit where they stay overnight in the dorms and spend lots of time with the team. The dead period has made my recruiting method and steps very difficult. I am fortunate that I have a very young team and I don’t have as many openings in 21-22 as I normally do.
