I have a sophomore in HS who really excels in her sport and I am starting to hear stories of kids in other sports already getting "offers" from colleges. 
I know this happens but it makes no sense to me. What about GPAs, SATs, you know, academic information. They are 10th graders!
I'm not talking about kids bound for the NBA-that's another universe entirely. I'm talking about regular hs kids who will need their college degree to make a living later on but who happen to be really good soccer, lacrosse, baseball etc players. 
I am not interested in having my kid worry about college now. We will not pursue getting recruited yet, if at all, but I am so curious.

How does the process start? Do coaches start calling? What does the offer say? Is there scholarship money? Can the school rescind the offer if the kid has a bad season? What about school work?! Does the kid even have to do an application?

Please also share your child's recruitment story. Or a friend's.

Thank you[/quote]
