As a high school basketball player you should be aware that the standard of play at college level is very high. I would recommend that you attend a few games to gauge the actual intensity of the game. Remember that only the absolute top players will be scouted by college basketball recruiters.
Don't just concentrate on the top division I colleges, many of these big schools usually have a large number of potential recruits. The competition is fierce, unless you are a blue chip player you wont receive an offer.
There is nothing wrong with smaller division I, division II or NAIA colleges. What would you rather have, a partial or full basketball scholarship at a division II school or the offer of a walk on at one of the top schools? At the end of the day its your education that's important.
