My son is a junior on 9/1 eleven schools reached out. Not DUKE, ND, Virginia etc. However hey were all D-1 schools and he has a 89 average and hasn't taken the SAT yet so far not one school has said he wont get in academically. Bottom line he is an average student and that is fine and Lax is going to get him into one of those schools FACT. Without Lax he wouldn't be considered.
We have beaten this topic to death. Anyone who does not understand how recruiting and admissions works has their head in the sand.
Although every situation is different, the bottom line is that recruited athletes do not need the same academic credentials as non athletes. It doesn’t matter if we are talking about Princeton, Harvard or Yale or lower academic tier schools recruited athletes are not held to the same academic standards as the general population.
