Um And it was through my , sorry , it was through my ankle surgery that I kind of realized that part of honestly just sports . Um just realizing there's more so recruitment was definitely a tough , it was a really tough time and I even see I have two younger sisters that are going through one of them just ended their process and the other one's just beginning it um recruitment process . It's , it's , it's a long hard process that you're questioning a lot about yourself .
And I think that honestly , I , there's a chance I could have been miserable . Um , so I think that's , uh , that's all really important when you're going through your recruiting process , um , to just keep those things in mind . So my transition to college and playing in at a college level was definitely really tough .
Um , but everybody talks about this feeling that happens when you kind of walk on campus , um , that at the school that like you end up going to , um , I've hosted a few recruits this year just as a freshman . It's kind of our duty just to show around the recruits . Um , and a lot of them that ended up committing , talked about like the feeling that they had when they got on campus and talked to the coaches and saw the team .
Um , and we pretty consistent coming to my games . They got to know me as a player and then through the recruiting process , they got to know me as a person and I got to know them . And I think that's another big thing is you need to know what type of family I would say that you're walking into because when you're playing college , it's not just about a team anymore .
You can send it to coaches and then that invites them to come to more things . I don't think that getting recruited off a highlight tape is ideal . I was , I was lucky that , um , uconn and Mags and Carrie and the rest of my coaching staff had watched me throughout my years .
