Any opportunity to play your sport in college is a privilege 🤷‍♂️

A school is REALLY recruiting you if they...

- Have a coach reach out regularly
- Are interested in your application status
- Invite you to visit campus & stay overnight
- Travel to watch you play a live game
- Ask you about more than sports
- Extend an offer

What else?
