[quote=Anonymous]DC is a junior.  Similar situation.  Strong academics but not as strong to be recruited by those teams.  DC feels like he has invested so much time into the sport that he needs to play in college.  DW and I can't get DC to change his thinking.  DC is looking at lower caliber schools b/c thats where the coaches are recruiting from.  DC has a few coaches that match academic and sport but DW and I don't see it working out in the end.  These coaches are talking to atleast 20+ athletes for approximately 5 spots.  DC has had calls and a few unofficials but the coaches don't say anything definitieve which tells me they see DC as a backup.  DW and I don't know how to get through to DC that the coaches aren't really interseted maybe as a possible backup and should start to look at other schools not based on the sport.  Its very frustrating.  DC's travel sport coach keeps pushing playing in college.  DC has the grades, class rigor, SAT/ACT scores, and ECs in STEM.  How can we get through to DC?[/quote]
