Don’t get caught up in name chasing & miss a great college opportunity. If everyone could go D1 there wouldn’t be D2s, D3s, junior colleges, etc. Make a decision so that you can be successful, not a decision others want you to make. When you’re good they will find you. Facts

When it came time for me to pick what school I was going to, I had to pick the place best for ME, not my friends, family or coaches. When you’re all unpacked & everyone is gone, YOU have to be the one that’s on time for class, running the sprints and being accountable.
