Getting recruited isn't just about talent—college coaches also weigh character, versatility, and genuine interest in their program. Green flags include being low-maintenance, able to play multiple roles, and showing real excitement about the school. Red flags like overbearing parents or careless social media can hurt your chances, no matter how skilled you are.
