[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a junior my son was not recruited. As the summer after junior year looked bleak he made a list of his top 5 schools (academic and sport levels matched).

He had already made contact with these coaches in the summer to see if they would watch him but it never panned out.

We agreed to send him to a PG year at a boarding school.

He called those 5 coaches saying if there was a sport would he be considered for the next year. They were all very vague with you are on our list but not the top.

He continued to call them every other week to see if there was any movement. He would call when other kids entered the portal or changed their commitment.

Eventually in the 11th hour he got a "we have a preferred walk on spot". They helped with admissions, no scholarship, no promise of making the team.

He made the team Freshman year and earned a partial scholarship the rest of the years. [/quote]

Nice. I know of some kids who did something similar for football and lacrosse.[/quote]
