[quote=Anonymous]At my son’s top tier school, I am aware of one recruited athlete in 9th grade admissions. So, while it does happen, most of you should not be putting your eggs in that basket. Most top tier athletes don’t show that promise by 8th. I get that basketball is a potential exception and there are always some exceptions which I’m sure will be thrown in my face. But most HS coaches are very aware that a really good lax 8th grader does not equate to a college level recruit many years down the line. Rather, our son was highly academically qualified and very good at a sport. I’m sure they’re hoping he’ll develop into a recruit — as are we given the benefits to admission — but it’s a long long road.[/quote]
