Coach Taylor – My high school team is terrible.  What impact does the quality of my high school team have on my recruiting process?  Should I ever consider transferring high schools?

College coaches do not recruits teams, they recruits players. The only advantage you will have as a high school recruit who plays on a good team is the added exposure you may earn from playing in the playoffs or bigger events. Recruits that play on a bad team will need to work a little harder to earn exposure but once a coach identifies you he will evaluate you solely on your ability and not your teams win and lose record.  Remember, with the internet and resources available to recruits nowadays, it is easier than ever to overcome obstacles like a bad team.  Make sure you are doing the “5 things every recruit needs to do” and you will be successful.
