College football recruiting has become a 365 day a year job for college coaches
that have another very important job to do, coach football. For the high school
coach, the crush of colleges from around the country requesting video, contact
information, evaluations, and more, can be equally overwhelming.
Two coaches in the state of Georgia have decided to help ease the process for
coaches at both levels by launching the inaugural Scout Recruiting Expo at two
locations within the Peach State. South Paulding's Tim Glanton and Kendrick's
Ahmad Tinker are bringing together hundreds of coaches from around the state to
meet with college recruiters in a one stop shop for Georgia Scouting.
Held in Douglasville on April 29th and Columbus on May 1st, Glanton says that he
and Tinker's goal is to make the recruiting process in the state of Georgia
easier for the high school and college coaches alike.
"We wanted to make spring recruiting season less troublesome," said
Glanton. "Recruiters come by to visit during the school day and sometimes
the high school coaches have trouble spending quality time with the recruiter
because of teaching responsibilities. These events allow the high school coach
to have eight hours to promote their prospects with no distractions, and it also
gives the college recruiter a chance to visit a 100 high schools at one
location."

As a traveling coach with the Under Armour / Scout.com Combine Series the
last three years, including the last two as quarterback coach / offensive
coordinator, Glanton is particularly sensitive to time constraints placed on
coaches in the spring.
The concept is simple, yet exponentially valuable to all of the participants.
High School Coaches from Georgia and Alabama are invited bring transcript,
player profiles and Highlight videos of prospects to help promote their players
to the college recruiters as well as being delivered to Scout.com.
College recruiters from all levels of football get the chance to meet with over
100 high school coaches over the course of two days, rather than spending the
day driving from school to school and being lucky to crack double digits.
The events will be catered, and after the Expo in has concluded in Douglasville,
University of Alabama Head Coach Nick Saban is a featured speaker.
The event promises to be the single best way for college coaches, high school
coaches, and Scout.com to exchange the information needed to promote and recruit
players from across Georgia and Alabama.
