<p>^^ Not sure why you brought this thread back. An athlete does NOT get into a college because they are a “high school’s star athlete”. MOST high school top athletes are not going to be recruited by colleges. It is a small percentage that are good enough to play in college- especially at the D1 or top D3 level. Being “athletic” isn’t the draw. Being so talented at your sport that you bring something to the college program is the draw.</p>
