<p>One of the first questions any coach asks when recruiting a player is, "How are his grades?". There are so many high academic colleges and universities who are always looking for players that can help their programs win but those player also have to be able to get admitted to these high academic institutions. So we put the call out for any players with a 3.5 or higher GPA and 24 or higher ACT. The GPAs and scores listed below are from the players or their parents. These scores were printed with their permission. Here’s a look at high academic prospects in the Junior class.</p>
