[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For girls or boys, discuss.

And on the other side, what do you consider the hardest sport to get recruited for if you do not have elite talent?

To add on to the football discussion, if you're a reasonably strong football player on a good high school football team, then, based on my anecdotal observations, it does seem easier to be recruited.

I'm not talking about being recruited to play at D1 football powerhouses like Michigan / Notre Dame /  Penn State / Stanford, but being recruited to Ivies and places like Wash U, Bucknell, Washington & Lee, etc. I have seen decent (but not amazing) HS football players receive offers from multiple Ivies.  IME, you don't have to be at the absolute top in terms of football or academic prowess to play football at many highly ranked schools.

If you think about it, football teams are large and include many different body types and skills for the various positions.

Hardest sport to be recruited for boys -- maybe basketball. Teams are smaller, height is very important, competition is tough. [/quote]
