Making a Recruiting Video is a Good Thing
Before you're offered a spot on a college team, the coach will usually want to see you play in person. A highlights video is not a substitute for seeing you play in person.
A video is, however, a good way to convince the coach to come see you play. In sending a coach a video, you're just trying to whet his appetite—to distinguish yourself as someone he should seek out.
