"This isn't a school I would send my son to"

You just proved my point about options. That is precisely the advantage the kid who has good grades has over kids like this one. They can pick and choose which school they want to go to.

A kid like this is limited to a handful of schools willing to take on a huge risk. He has limited himself. It takes tremendous talent to find yourself in a situation like this. Your player of "average D1 talent" is not going to be so lucky.

So don't despair. Hitting the books and getting good grades DOES help you. It just doesn't put you ahead of the player with more talent.
