But, disappointment quickly followed as LaSalle scrapped their entire football
program immediately after Berry’s first season, leaving himself and the entire team out in the cold and on their own to fend for themselves.
Heartbroken and devastated, Berry returned to the comforts of home determined to make lemonade out of lemons. He vowed that he was not
going to let what happened to him ever happen to any other Student Athlete, and in just a few short years he founded All Out Recruiting.

To understand what happened to Berry and why college recruiters do not
pay attention to Student Athletes here on the Treasure Coast you must understand the dynamics of the recruiting process. The Treasure Coast, consisting of Martin, St. Lucie, Indian River and Okeechobee Counties is a
dense and spread out area with only a handful of high schools. There are
only 17 or so public and private high schools that makeup its 1,780 square
miles, or 1 per every 105 square miles.

Comparatively the Miami/Dade – Palm Beach County area has 128 high schools
all within a much closer proximity to one another.
