if you are serious then hire a publiscist to get your name on the desks of some colleges---have him or her make a highlight tape/dvd of all your best stuff and send it to every college you can get the address of

You have good strength, but you are not well-sized.
You need to put on 30 or so pounds of muscle, and grow about a half foot (as somebody said before). Undersized guys may do pretty well in high school, but will get destroyed at higher levels.
I wouldn't worry so much about the school size, because if you are a standout player, word will get around.

Still WAY to early to tell. You might grow another foot and gain 100 pounds before you're college age. You too darn young to worry about something so far away and frankly not very realistic. I am not saying not to dream. Just be patient and have fun being 14. Plus, there are a lot of pretty good players who didn't play D1 ball. Walter Peyton and Jerry Rice to name a couple. Good luck!

Slim to none unless you grow about 6 inches and put on about 50 lbs of muscle plus the fact that you're playing small school high school ball I doubt if you'll get any looks from division 1 colleges.

I dont know, but since u r only 14 I woudnt worry about it right now. I go to a small school, but i got an offer to Mizzou just because i live so close to it.

Maybe like UMass? Or a junior college and transfer to a 4 year school?

it helps if you can spell college.
but seriously though, it depends on how much you grow from here on. you can add muscle by working hard in the weight room, but 5ft. 7 is short for D1. but you're only 14, so i wouldn't worry.
