Yeah, it's a whole different world if your player can get into the HA tier of schools. There are still some very good players, but FAR less of them, and coaches are very interested in a player that can play for them who has a 3.5+ GPA, a 30+ ACT, and some rigor in their HS transcript. The JUCO, scholarship D1(with some obvious exceptions such as Stanford, Vandy, Rice, etc.), and D2 schools have a "meat market" feel to them.

I understand that we come in all shapes, sizes, and talents, and am not judging. I am a Tradesman, myself, and had a spotty academic record.
