The sport in question is football. I didn't know it made a difference or I would have specified. I wasn't athletic in school, so I have no real world experience to even figure out how to ask my questions.
Does this mean that the athlete submits his ACT/SAT scores to the colleges he wants to go to first and then recruiters decide if they want to follow up?
I kind of had it in my head that as a first semester junior, some recruiters looking at other players might be interested in my character. He wouldn't have likely taken his ACT/SAT yet or at least have
just taken them for practice, so no one would have his scores. He's set on getting a scholarship, and he's a good player, not a prodigy or top player in the U.S., but a strong player on a strong team.
I don't need any shady business or really in depth workings of the system - the NCAA website totally confused me! (Sorry.) I just want to know if it's possible that his coach or friends might have heard any inklings of rumors from schools that might be interested in him.
If that wouldn't happen, break it down simply to me what he would need to do to get noticed:
A) Send in test scores
B) ???
C) ???
Also, do any of these things HAVE to be done junior year or can they be done as a senior?
I hope I made this clearer!
Thanks!!
