Thought a little dated, I found this NYT article on the "unpredictable" and "mystifying" world of HA D3 recruiting to be very interesting, as Haverford College gave them behind the scenes access to the process. Also, Haverford's baseball coach is still there.
Results Can Be Jarring as Recruiting Carousel Stops

That's a good article (I had seen it somewhere before--maybe on this site?). But most of the students profiled have SAT scores that would be below the current 25th percentile at the schools discussed. Granted, scores were almost certainly lower in 2006, but I have to wonder if the author failed to mention that the athletes he is discussing were warned that they were at some risk of not getting in?

My son is supposed to get word on his ED application tomorrow, so maybe I'm whistling past the graveyard...
