[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think it is unreasonable to ask questions when athletes are being recruited as 10th graders.  There is NO WAY that a student's academic potential is accurately estimated at the beginning of 10th grade.  Other students are assessed at the middle of 12th grade.  Sorry if you think that I should just keep my mouth shut.  I find recruiting at the beginning of 10th grade ridiculous, and evidence that our sports obsessions are leading schools to admit students who should not be there.  [/quote]

Despite the know-it-all prior poster, the SAT score issue does come into play -- the lower the SAT score (and academic index) the more of an absolute superstar you would have to be for them to spend their chips on you in admissions.  I know a lacrosse athlete from a local well-known school who had a commitment as a junior from an Ivy, and after he failed to get his SAT score up to what they were looking for, they first told him not to apply early, and later he was rejected in regular admissions.
