quote:is there usually more recruiting emphasis placed upon the players physical profile.......height, size, speed,etc. and do those players meeting the desired d1 profile or template get the looks instead regardless of their academic strengths or weaknesses?
Fan, I think the criteria is different for every coach and every program. My son is only 5'11" and was recruited by a limited number of DIs in HS and one DI this summer when he decided to leave JUCO. In HS, his grades weren't super, but acceptable I suppose.
I think that just as every player has a "fit" in their mind, coaches have that too. Basically they want a player that they have a need for and one that has the ability to contribute and help make their program a winning one. I think that "make up" varies from coach to coach - JMO!
