This totally proves my point. How do you get the chance to play college football w/o starting on your high school team....you pay the tuition at a D3 school...that's how.

Yes there are kids who love football and choose D3 b/c they want to continue playing the game and would rather go to a Centre or Hanover and get a great education than rather just be a student at UK. But the point is that this is not the majority of the D3 guys.

THERE WILL BE SEVERAL FROSH IN CENTRE's incoming class that did NOT start on their high school team.

Do you want to know how a kid gets recruited by a D3 school. In the few weeks after signing day, the FCS teams will come out and pick up the pieces of what D1 left behind. (they will already have a few kids that they knew didn't have d1 offers that they already had lined up). Then the D2's will come in and make their offers, and THEN the D3 coaches will show up at the high school in March/April and ask

"do you have anyone that may be interested in playing for us?"

They don't know the kids by name, they don't care to watch any film. They don't ask his 40 time or how much he benches or squats, they ask for a transcript and then give them a free application. They go soely on the word of the HS coach and they take (recruit) what they can get.

Are there some GOOD QUALITY guys going on to play D3 football.....yes....but this is not the majority. They would be much better suited walking on at a FCS (D1AA) program or even D2.

Again I have no idea what schools you are talking about because I went to Bridgewater State in Massachusetts which is a Division 3 school and they won't even look at you unless you have a highlight film that is sent to them from your high school head coach!
