Syracuse, NY – With over 35 years of experience in the coaching field, Joe Casamento has seen the world of college recruiting evolve around him. “I remember riding with 400 tapes in the back of my trunk in the old days,” said Casamento, “If you could get out a tape of your kid you’d do it.”
Casamento, who has just finished his 11th season as the head football coach of Syracuse powerhouse Christian Brothers Academy, understands how the internet has allowed today’s athlete the chance to compete and market themselves in areas that were off limits years ago.
“I started coaching in 1971, so I’ve been coaching a longtime,” added Casamento. “I’ve been approached by a lot of websites, and I went with Eporro.com because it is a win-win for the college coach, for the high school coach, and for the kid and his or her family.”
Eporro.com’s revolutionary technology can put the student-athlete in direct contact with a college coach, using their Eporro.com profile to compete at all levels of the NCAA for collegiate scholarships. Eporro.com can also aid the high school coach, who can now use the website to promote his or her athletes to programs all over the country. Casamento expressed this added benefit for those in rural areas.
“If you are a high school coach and you are in a small town,you don’t get schools that come through to see what kids you might have,” commented Casamento. “Eporro.com is great because if you don’t know somebody still you can get your kids out there through the internet.”
Casamento’s coaching resume and list of success stories is off the charts, and he has played a key role in developing several college and professional athletes from the Syracuse area. Casamento has coached NFL players Marquise Walker, Ray Seals and also former Duke point guard and Syracuse quarterback Greg Paulus.
"Eporro.com has a bright future in helping our youth," said Casamento. "You can email a coach and tell them about the kids on the site, and their films and transcripts are there without them having to spendany money to make it happen.”
