Athletes all over the country that want to test the waters of collegiate sports after their high school careers end are making major plans for the summer.

The object is to be seen and to display skills before the very eyes of coaches and scouts that make decisions on who will be recruited and who will get scholarship offers.

Anyone wanting to have someone else pay the bills of books, room/board, tuition, etc., must take the summer months seriously.

Tennessee football signee DeAnthony Arnett hit the summer circuit at a young age and it paid off with over 41 scholarship offers. To get a look inside some of the recruiting process, check out Arnett's documentary.
