In our case, what is tough is that DS plays sports that are very hard to get recruited for (ie, baseball, soccer). He chose to stick with what he loves even though some peers switched to Lax b/c numerous students in our area get recruited for Lax. The kids going on baseball and soccer scholarships seem to have to really compromise the quality of school, unless they are almost professional level. Soccer athletes also compete with many international players for the scholarships.

He just wants to find a school with solid club/intramural sports and focus on merit scholarships (academic). Or perhaps he would consider walking on; but he doesn’t want the pressure of the recruiting process defining his college search.
