Want to be Recruited – Earn Great Grades!

August 4th, 2009 - by Keith Babb

I speak with 30-40 families weekly about college recruiting and I’m amazed at the lack of knowledge of the APR – Academic Progress Rate. Here is a very long article that is a must read for any parent of a 9th grader, or older, who has aspirations to play in college. It details the 4 stages of penalties for athletic programs that the NCAA imposes should their athletes not make progress toward graduation. If you have questions, go here.

    Central High School boys varsity basketball team started off 0-9, half of it’s players were still playing football, which they proceeded to take 3A STATE BACK TO BACK AND 6TH REGIONAL CHAMPS. Along with BOYS AND GIRLS TRACK TEAMS WINNING THE 2A REGIONAL CHAMPS. The underdogs where not going out without a fight, the boys varsity team regrouped with its fellow players shocked the whole entire state coming back to not only WIN BACK TO BACK 6TH REGIONALS AND MAKE IT TO THE BIG DANCE AT THE RUPP!. However, going eye for eye and neck and neck lost in a double overtime to Holmes, but still the cinderalla team outlast all its rivals from regular season to become THE BOYS BASKETBALL SWEET SIXTEEN STATE RUNNER-UP! A LONG WAY FROM WHERE THE STARTED 0-9. The team and the coaches to me went unnoticed to the media, although the community still today talk about the game going down in history and how much it meant and all the the team endured. Central have alot of talented kids on the team with good grades and BIG HEARTS, if only someone would have reached out to help with the college recruiting they would have all gotten scholarships. I wish i would have known earlier but myself just found out because of my son attending Calipari’s Camp at U of K, and Point Guard College at Lewis University just last week.
