I can only imagine how much data is out there on athletes today at the HS level in all sports.
My son was an excellent cross country runner in HS and could have run for VMI. While much different from the revenue sports, he was badgered a bit by the coaches to run. He declined. He was on an ROTC scholarship so his point to me was: "I need to get smart and focus on being great at being an Army Officer, not finishing mid pack in a Southern Conference Cross Country Meet."
The kids generally know before the parents do where they really fit.
MRM's comments on non D1 schools is excellent.
