Reply to "College Scouting of HS Freshman"

Thanks Buckeye!  Actually, I'm not sure if he used the word scout or something else.  My husband did not ask him any follow up questions.  He did say he did this, whatever it is called, for "some colleges," but identified only the one he was there for that day.  The only other thing he said was that the kid he was looking at had good academics.

He did not seem to be trying to develop a relationship with my husband/son and did not ask for any information from us or money.  In fact, I don't think he even told my husband his name.  He simply watched the game and then left when it was over and that was it.

I am sure you have much more knowledge and experience with this than I do, but I will say that I am aware of one travel coach in our area who sometimes acts as a scout for a high academic school in the northeast.  His son attended that school in the past, and he looks at players the school might be interested in.
