Unpopular opinion:
Choose a college were you can make an impact not just fill a roster spot
Life is short, college is way shorter ๐ฏ
See too much talent spending entire careers ending their season at conference championships when they should be showing out on a national stage

The division of an institution doesn't guarantee or discount quality. Research development of current & previous athletes under coaching staff, academic interest, opportunity to make an impact, & team culture
