Most of them will want to look at you your junior year. senior year if its a really bad school. You should be the 1st-2nd best player on your team, and be on a good team. If the teams you play are bad this will hurt you too.

they can, but you have to be really really good. it's really hard to get recruited into an american college if you live overseas. You'd be better off making a name in a euro league or something.

what you could do is send colleges your games tapes. NOT highlight reels, they dont care bout that, everyone has a highlight reel. scouts wanna see how you play an entire game not one play. the biggest thing is getting your name out there. now like everyone said, if your the best player on a good team odds are scouts will be watching the game and you just have to peform

The colleges that are going to have d1 sports are like boarding schools, You get a room usually on campus and you have roommates, and you just go to your classes whenever they are.

But yea, if you want to play college sports, you have to do the required courses ( some will opt to do this in the summer, so they don't have to worry about classes during the season).
