THIS x 1000 ! There is a huge difference between a program wanting you and being willing to take you. In today’s world of Covid, extra years of eligibility, and overcrowded rosters this will be the biggest determining factor in whether a player has a good experience or a bad one. The level of play doesn’t matter. If a team really wants you there is a good chance for a happy ending. If a team is willing to take you, I don’t like your chances.
I learned this the hard way, but certainly on the same page! You need a staff willing to give you a little flex and time to figure it out. At the end of the day they need to believe in you just as much as you believe in them.
