This is simply not true. If it was all up to me, I'd have multiple NCAA Final Fours under my belt by now.
The effort that you put into it is all up to you. But the selection process has many,
many,
MANY more factors involved. Your geographic location is involved, the camps you pick are a factor, the perception of posture and composure are a factor.
I worked high school for 6 years before I got accepted to work NCAA JV games. Took me another 3 years to get a D3 varsity schedule. Took me another 6 years to get a D2 schedule. I could've had a D2 schedule 5 years ago, because the assignor loved me. But I was too far away from most of his schools to be of any use to him.
I'm not trying to discourage you. I just don't want you to go in with this false perception. Your seven years of intramural and rec ball are going to impress exactly nobody. I don't say that as an insult, but you need to recognize that college assignors (the ones that I know, anyway) view those games as little more than babysitting. That's not a reflection on you personally, only on the level of play.
If you want to move up, you need to be seen by the right people. That means you need to find out who those people are in your area and find out which camps they will be observing at. Then go to those camps. That's really what you need to do in this era.
If you post your general location, you might get some feedback here on which camps are your best bets. Good luck.
