Players choose schools for a variety of reasons, many recruits focusing on a key three or four factors they must-have when making their decision. Below are a list of 30 factors (some good and some worthless) that players consider when making their decisions: #1 – […]
A: It’s natural, even the best athletes doubt themselves at some point. You will likely have many people tell you that you won’t make it, you aren’t good enough, that you aren’t talented… believe me, it’s extremely tough to tune out and ignore, but you […]

It’s very important to understand that even though the NCAA Eligibility Center sets their own mandatory minimum requirements for GPAs and test scores, that doesn’t guarantee admission to any and every school.
