In order to organize the links with the corresponding information simply add <0ref>BIBLIOGRAPHY STYLE CITATION</ref> (remove the 0) at the end of the text you want to cite. I think you should try to expand on some of the sections, more specifically the "Process" and "Rules" section. For the "Process" section you could talk about exactly how recruiting works as in what steps are involved and for the "Rules" section I think you could include some information (possibly in subcategories) about the rules of various sports in specific. I believe that one of the main strengths of the article is the way in which it is divided into 5 different sections. The main weakness that I noticed was that most of the sections are very short (2 sentences or less). In looking at the http://www.ncaa.org/wps/ncaa?ContentID=271 link you included I noticed that the site contains tons of information that could be used to expand your article by elaborating on a few individual sports etc. Also, in viewing the 2 article links I noticed that both were current articles (one published on 1/27/09 and the other on 2/3/09) posted on credible sites and that they contained some very valuable information to include in your article such as middle school recruitment. Your article does not seem to have a bias to it, mostly factual information. Overall, this is a good article that needs a little elaboration.

Your page overall looks really good, and contains a lot of useful information. It would look more professional if you inserted the links/resources into the actual information. Also, I'd add in internal links, since there are a lot of terms you use that I'm sure have already existing wikipages. For example "NCAA" "letter of intent" and "college basketball". Also, does scout.com have a page? Because that would be a good link to include also. Under the "Rules" bullet, you might want to give a few examples of the rules, perhaps as they pertain to different sports...
