[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP.  Thanks all for the input.

The sport is crew.  No social media for the kid, but the school posts stuff and they stand out in group shots for their height which is apparently an advantage.  Though I my understanding is that crew is a more objectively-measured sport like one of the PPs indicated - in addition to the non-performance dimensions others have mentioned.

Is the process typically one-way?  Meaning if they were interested in a specific school (one that's reasonably within reach academically), should they reach out to a coach there to try and get their attention?[/quote]

Crew is different in that you usually row for your HS or a club, but not both…usually kids row for a club because their HS doesn’t offer it.  At most HSs, it is a year round sport.

In this instance, whichever applies to you, the coach should know the drill on Erg times and all the stats which I gather this D1 coach should know.

I guess you need to decide if you are trying to use this for an Ivy where any $$$s are only need-based or a University of Texas which just announced all crew recruits will get full scholarships (I think they are doing it for all sports as part of the NCAA settlement).

Ivy schools have been dominant, but maybe the full scholarships will change things.

Not really any NIL $$$s in crew, so not sure you need to get into that.[/quote]
