[quote=Anonymous]My take. 1. For the truly gifted athlete (ie nationally top ranked) recruiting is an open door into almost any school except maybe the most academic colleges (and even then if it’s a sport the alumni really care about they will find a way to admit you). 2. For the elite athlete (ie all-state/record holder) recruiting will significantly lower the admissions requirement. I personally know kids with a 3.5 and 1200 sat who have gotten into ivy league schools. That would be impossible w/o recruiting. 3. For the very good athlete (ie multi-year varsity starter/all-district) it can give an edge to the excellent student. The 4.2, 1450 sat kid has a good shot at a top school. 4. For everybody else- the recruiting game is reversed and your kid ends up going to lower ranked schools in order to play college sports. [/quote]
