Coach Bob Walsh in divisional differences in recruiting

Coach Bob Walsh writes about the differences in recruiting between Divisions I, II and III. A snippet:

...At the D2 level you are deciding who a scholarship player is and who isn’t. At the lower levels of D1, you are deciding who is a Division I player and who isn’t. There generally isn’t as much consensus, and there is a very fine line between a good D2 player and a good D1 player.  That makes your ability to evaluate very important. At the lower levels you are less likely to get someone who just steers a player your way because of a relationship. If a kid can play at a higher level he’s likely going to play at that level. It’s evaluating those kids to find the ones that you know can play at your level, or who the higher level schools might miss on, that really makes a difference. The emphasis is more on evaluations than it is on relationships...
