College coaches and evaluators are utilizing and accessing the GymRat RECRUITING INDEX player profiles YEAR-ROUND. When a college coach or evaluator (publication, scouting service, media member, etc) performs an action in our database that involves your profile, an alert is generated and logged into your account so that you can maintain a running record of all contacts and alerts. College coaches and evaluators can also send you direct messages through the GymRat RECRUITING Index. To learn how to check your messages and alerts within your GymRat RECRUITING Index profile follow the steps below. You can also CLICK HERE to view a video tutorial of this functionality.
