Illinois College Men's Soccer Recruiting

Start with Evan Philpott, the head coach. The men's staff is small, with one assistant coach alongside the head coach, so the head coach almost certainly reads recruiting mail personally. Copy the assistant so the whole staff sees the same message.

As general context, NCAA Division III schools do not award athletic scholarships. Aid at D3 schools comes through academic merit and need based packages, and D3 coaches often recruit later in the cycle than D1 programs. Illinois College sits in the middle of its division by Massey rank, which is where well prepared club players who reach out early tend to find real conversations.

Illinois College is a private small school in a college town with about 930 undergraduates. On a campus this size the men's soccer staff usually knows the admissions office well, so academic fit comes up early in the conversation. The acceptance rate is 78 percent, and the middle SAT range is 883 to 1180, so include your grades and any test scores in the first message.
