Coach Thurmond's College Golf Recruiting Blog
What grades and scores do you expect from a junior golfer in high school wanting to become one of the Washington Huskies?

This is a really hard question to answer because, frankly, it sort of depends how good the player is and how much we want them. If someone’s academics are a little borderline coaches have to essentially vouch for them with Admissions and put their name and credibility on the line to bring them in. To do that, a coach needs to know they are very important to the team and that they will be successful in school.

Every school will have certain standards they need to have for recruits to be admitted. These same schools will have varying flexibility in helping recruits get into school that may not make it without their sport. For us, these standards are still pretty high. I just don’t think it is right to be specific about those exact standards here (also, they change each year).
