One of the things that bothers me so much is that there are college coaches will straight up lie to recruits to try and build a program. Genuine recruiting is definitely present at all levels and the connection with coach has to be that, genuine. If it’s forced or you feel like it’s not a natural connection that could be a huge side that school isn’t right for you. And it’s ok to admit that if it’s a school you’ve dreamt about as a kid, don’t let people fool you.
