Son is 2018 so will share what I know thus far:
Which coach's (schools) have pull, slot, tips - or whatever name is given - with admissions;
- Son will attend D3 high academic NESCAC - HC had 9 slots to support players through admissions, 3 of the 9 slots were preferred slots for his top 3 desirable players
Where and when (his HS yr) was your son seen:
- First seen at Chicagoland Classic, then at PG WWBA and at Showball incoming Senior year
- Son started emailing video and interest in spring of Junior year, based on sons emails, the HC followed him at the Chicagoland Classic, they talked extensively through the summer
Can a kid be in the lower half of the incoming academic class stats:
- Coaches leaned heavily on the middle 50% of accepted ACT scores for that school. If the player has a 31, and the middle 50% is 31-33, the coach was then comfortable supporting the player
