Recruiting between high schools: Is it such a bad thing?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Want to see a high school coach get an instant case of lockjaw? Ask them about recruiting between high schools. They’ll grumble under their breath about one school or another stealing one of their players away, but when asked to make an official report, they’ll shrug and shake their head.
Recruiting is high school sports dirty little secret. It happens. Lots. But is it really such a bad thing?
Often, it is a player contacting another school about transferring rather than the other way around. If the ultimate goal is to help athletes earn a college scholarship, then why do athletes who transfer in an effort to better their chances of getting into college receive so much criticism? Doesn’t everyone want what is best for the kid?
