Does the recruiting industry need The Process?

One of college football’s most well respected talent evaluators is about to once again leave his imprint on the recruiting trail, as Paul Gonnella is ready to change the landscape of the college football world with his new company called The Process.
Set to launch this spring, The Process is a service that will not only help guide kids through the entire recruiting process, but also provide them with an honest assessment and evaluation of their skill set.
“After spending years on the other side of the recruiting process, this a great opportunity,” said Gonnella. “The recruiting process can be difficult for some of these kids. It’s a lot to deal with all at once. Being in my position for as long as I have, I understand how it all works and exactly what it takes.”
When describing Gonnella, understanding what it takes is a massive understatement. After spending time as the Director of Player Personnel/Recruiting Coordinator at schools like Alabama, Memphis, Miami (FL), North Carolina, Purdue, Tennessee and most recently South Florida, Gonnella knows exactly what it takes in the recruiting process.

Helping Canadian kids — in particular Ontarian’s — reach the NCAA level is something Lazanja has consistently delivered. Over the past couple years, Lazanja has helped players like Arjen Colquhoun of Michigan State, David Knevel of Nebraska, and Yale running back, and Senior Bowl standout, Tyler Varga reach the NCAA.
“A player like Tyler [Varga] is the complete package on and off the field,” said Lazanja. “But what more evaluators are noticing is that Canada has more than an athlete here and there that can compete. There are a bunch of them. With the Process, we can help these athletes better understand what they need to do to reach that next level, as well as help them gain valuable exposure.”
