Is This College Coach Just Not That Into Me?

Out of the 8 spots or so, half of them will graduate before I go to college. But most of them are seniors this year. So, does that lower my chance of getting a spot the year after since the coaches will look at more athletes this year to fill the missing slots?



Not necessarily. There’s no guarantee that the coach will have a good recruiting year before it’s your turn or that the athletes who enroll will perform up to snuff and stay injury-free. Also, it sounds like you are a very strong contender, so you may end up not only being admitted but also surpassing the older athletes on the roster.
