What Does Being Recruited for College Look Like?

Where are you going for college? Who’s recruiting you? Have you gotten any letters today?

Those are some questions that many high school student athletes will ask another high school student athlete who is also being recruited for college. The question is: what does being recruited for college look like to you? Many high school athletes are not real sure about that answer. Many just play ball, get good grades and hang out with friends and that’s cool.

But as you hit your junior year of high school, are you being recruited by a college program? And if so, what does that look like? Are you getting a huge amount of letters coming to your home or your school? Are there college programs coming to see you play every week? And what about phone calls and emails– are you getting any of those? Has a college program asked to see your DVD or transcript or do they want to know if you’re registered for the NCAA clearing house?

What’s going on with recruiting for you right now? Are you even sure that you are being recruited for college right now or you’re not really sure what’s happening right now?

What does being recruited for college look like right now? Is it different for another student athlete on your team, is it the same or have you not paid much attention to what’s going on with the other kids at you school?

Are you even being recruited for college at all?? Keep in mind that many kids out there are good but are not getting recruited by anyone. Are you even good enough to play in college and if so, how do you know? Who told you that you had game? What are the things that you did to get better? Did you play during the summer or somewhere at a camp? Were there college coaches at any of the camps or did you throw away your money on some useless camp or event?
