[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op says this like it’s a wide open side door into an elite college.  Something like 3% of high school football players make a D1 roster.  If that’s your strategy to get in, you’re probably better off just sticking to the classroom stuff to go in the front door.   [/quote]

This. So stupid people are saying I know someone who did this! Of course this happens: on occasion and for amazing athletes.NO ONE is getting in like this without being a stellar athlete AND OP is saying she knows several like this. She does not. [/quote]

NP and she might.  These kids might be from a huge football school and OP doesn’t even realize it.  My kid went to a public powerhouse where kids were recruited. They were huge, athletic and smart.  Those are the kids who had their pick of schools.  My son didn’t play through senior year because although he was 6 feet tall and big, he wasn’t big enough or athletic enough to get any real play time.  It’s your entire life to never see minutes in a game.  Anyone can’t just “play football” then have a choice of colleges.  [/quote]
