[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So yes, OP. A recruited athlete may be well within a school’s academic profile but many of them are, as you say, “off.” And for those within the profile, the recruited athlete will get in before another student with comparable stats who is not recruited. It’s a huge bump. [b]The ones I like are the ones who use the hook with every intention of dropping the sport after their first season. All within the rules but so very calculating.[/b] [/quote] Op, totally agree and that is why I’m a little incredulous that MIT is being mentioned so often on this chain. Not exactly known as a school for serious athletes. I’ve also noticed the retention rates for recruits (to finish college on the team) are rarely more than 50 or 60 percent. Not sure if that includes kids who use the transfer portal or not.[/quote]
