[QUOTE="Hey Adrien!, post: 4720969, member: 5787"]
Wholly agree with this.

Three people close to me who weren’t D1 athletes followed this rule and all three are/were happy with their choices.

My niece plays soccer at a NAIA in Arizona. She could have walked-on at a mid-major D1 and was recruited by a few D3s across the nation, but she’s in a school that has a great program for what she’s interested in, gets to actually play and most games are 60 minutes away or less.

Amongst my friends, one played tennis at Redlands and one played club water polo at UVM. Both situations were picking the school first and then having the sports as a community within the school in addition to other friends you meet along the way.

Random aside, I was student teaching in Stamford and one of my students was being recruited by Notre Dame, Penn State, USC and countless others…including UConn. One day I asked him if there was any chance he’d pick UConn and knowing that I went there he said “No offense, but you’ve seen my offers. No way I’m going there.”
