So I'd like to have our friends post their general knowledge of after being recruited, how many stick with their sport, for how long, and at what level/school/major. I think some of our pre-college posters would find it useful.
Some things I've heard is that: the coach isn't so nice anymore; the team parties too much; I couldn't play and major in science; I didn't get any playing time
One baseball player in our town transferred from a D1 to a D3 because he didn't like the control the coach had over his time, and felt the workouts were too time-consuming.
A swimmer at Harvard is thinking of quitting due to time constraints.
Two swimmers at SUNY schools quit due to trouble with being on a team and taking a heavy academic load.
Swimmer at Midd doing fine, great coaches and team.
Volleyball player at MIT very happy, but the first semester is pass-fail.
Volleyball player at SUNY doesn't like the coach, can't fit science courses in, so has to attend summer school. Not quitting so far.
LAX boy went to UMiami-too much partying(yes, I know)Now at Syracuse not playing.
LAX girl at Hopkins very happy.
Crew walk-ons at Cornell try it, and quit(two)
Runners everywhere still running unless injured....etc etc etc.
