Here's a sneak preview of some of the sweet new features we're set to launch on CaptainU in the next couple of weeks. BTW - we're always in the mood for suggestions on stuff you'd like to see on CaptainU. If you can dream it, we can build it...most of the time. Some ideas we've floated have included an espresso machine and a built-in Halo 3 console. All paid accounts get these features:

• Full Recruiting Calendar, Ya!: When you sign up for CaptainU we begin to craft a personal recruiting strategy for you (on the Dashboard.) Soon, you'll be able to see the entire strategy that we've mapped out for you between now and when you graduate.


• Parent Accounts, Hot!: We've talked to a ton of athletes and parents and, by popular demand, parents will now have their own logins so they can more easily help their kids.


• Resources, Spicy!: We've gotten great feedback on our guidance topics, email templates, and the such. But what happens when you want to skip ahead and find out something about, say, scholarships? Soon you'll be able to do that with our complete recruiting resources page.


• College Coach Q&A, ¡Picante!: Users with paid accounts (Varsity and MVP) will be able to ask college coaches questions about recruiting. Coaches will post their responses on CaptainU and you'll be able to search all old questions.

To upgrade your account for access to these features when they debut over the next couple of weeks, sign in, click account, and choose the Varsity or MVP plan.
