I have one d1 team interested in me, and the rest are dii and juco.
I would just like to know about the life of a dii and juco athlete to see if it is worth it.
Here was my life as a D2 football player years ago
In season
Daily activities: Lifting 2-3 days per week, Meetings everyday before practice, film review on our own, training room before and after practice, M-Th. Practice, Friday walkthrough or travel, Saturday game, Sunday tape review and lifting
Off season:
Film review 2 times per week, lifting 4 days per week, conditioning 3 days per week (T, Th, Sat drill work)
Spring ball: pretty much the same as regular season except for fewer days. Scrimmage every Saturday for a month
If I had a younger brother here is how I would advise him:
Do you HONESTLY think you are going pro?
If yes: Juco - D1 and you better ball your ass off
If no:
Is the D1 offer "special" to you (dream school)
If yes: go
If no: Find the most sensible small school to go to and ball out. If you aren't probably going pro, go to a school where you can start as a Freshman, play a bunch, be the big man on campus, set a record, and have a reason to go back every homecoming. Make it an experience you'll look back on and love rather than one you will dislike
