[quote=Anonymous]You may want to take an educated guess on how big, fast and strong your son is likely to be as a Jr or Sr in high school.

That IAC teams are, on balance, composed of bigger, faster and stronger kids. The game is played at a higher level.

Getting support from the football coaches in the Admissions process will depend upon the coach's view of how likely your son is to contribute Meaningfully to the team. They have plenty of players, what they need are more good players.

The "recruiting" effort that people talk about on here bears little resemblance to the recruiting practiced by colleges and defined by the NCAA.

It has two pieces. The first is the encouragement to make first contact with the school which is almost always don by people not directly associated with the school. (Alums, parents, youth coaches, etc).

The second is the effort once a boy has made "first contact". The idea here is to get the boy to apply.

But there is only so much admissions preference and only so big a slice of the Financial Aid package that any sport will get at these schools. It depends on what the school wants to emphasize and/or support.
