If you truly have the desire to play your sport in college, the last thing you want as a college freshman is to be asking yourself “What happened?” It seems to me it would be a terrible feeling to wonder why you aren’t on a college roster if you really believe you’re good enough.
For that reason, my advice to every recruit is to leave no recruiting stone unturned. Do everything you can to make your dream a reality. Not every talented athlete is “discovered” by college coaches. Sometimes you have to make things happen and this might be one of those times.
