We are hoping that some of you who've been through this can help us answer a question.
Over the past 18 months 2013 has attended half a dozen on-campus college showcases at schools that he has a strong interest for both academics and athletics. We have tracked his scores and see that he has made consistent progress in each category, so we are very pleased that his hard work is paying off.
We understand that the 1-5 scoring system is very standard and most schools provide their definition of each level. What we would like to try to understand is for players who went on to play at the college level, where might they have scored as a junior in high school?
For example, they say players are scored on where they are today - not where they would be as a college player. So, would a junior who is a 3 or 3+ in each category likely to be on the radar of a very competitive Midwestern D-III or low D-I? Or, are all these schools only following players who are already a level 4?
We don't have any frame of reference, so any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much!
