Recruiting Report: Where are area athletes going?
Apr. 20—ROCHESTER — Throughout the school year, offers flood in from universities and colleges looking to recruit high school athletes in our region to the next level.
The recruitment process isn't known to be short as some universities spend years building a relationship with the athlete before a scholarship offer is even on the table. Even after an athlete accepts an offer, the recruiting process is never over until they sign on the dotted line.
With that in mind, here are the area athletes who've currently received collegiate offers and the current status of their recruitments.
