changing HS

I know this has been discussed before, may be a good time to bring it up again.

Does changing high schools multiple times (within the same area) help or hurt a player in being recruited or drafted?

I recently heard a very fine player was overlooked in the draft because he switched schools twice in 4 years and was not heavily recruited for college for this reason also.

My guess...probably depends on the reasons for the changes.

Lots of kids change High Schools. Good Players will be found no matter how many times they change as long as the change is not related to attitude, behavior or academic success. If for some reason the coaches don't know about a kid because he changes schools, then the kid need to make sure he is agressive in his recruiting efforts by emailing and writing coaches as well as showing up in showcases

I agree w/ bk
the "very fine player" you're talking about may have changed schools because he had off the field problems in his first school that made teams think twice about drafting him
