It would seem, since this guy knew of my son and where he played high school ball, that this is in fact the case. And that kind of blows my mind!
Remember coaches aren't necessarily recruiting a kid because he was/is a good HS player but instead what type of college play he has the potential to become.
That's a good point. Also, the guy my husband talked with was aware of the player's strong academic record, suggesting the school was factoring that into their equation as well.
