O-D Re-Launches its Recruiting Service!

It's hard to believe we're already in the middle of O-D Combine season and the 2012 O-D Summer Camp Tour is only 3 months away! We just wanted to remind the members of our O-D family that O-D doesn't stop helping you just because you go home at the end of your camp, combine, or bowl. For example, the O-D PVP System just went live today! Don't know what the PVP System is? Keep reading to find out!

O-D PVP (Player Visibility Platform) is a program we have set up that collects data directly from our camp and combine visitors and makes that data available ONLY to collegiate recruiters, scouts, coaches, and administrators. Everything from an athlete's GPA to their 40-time and even highlight videos can be hosted on their own profile on the site. Collegiate personnel from all across the country and at all levels of play will have their eyes glued to the site looking for the right players for their program.
