College recruitment can be a complex and often confusing process for student-athletes and their families. Behind the scenes, countless conversations take place that many aspiring athletes may never be privy to. It’s essential to understand that student-athletes are not merely recruited to play a sport; they are sought after to fill specific roles within a team. Different coaches may perceive the same athlete in various ways: one might view them as a pivotal contributor to their championship ambitions, while another may consider them a backup or an insurance policy in case their primary recruits face injuries.
