Great advice thus far.
It's JULY. Very late to be considering SEC recruitment. Even I know that.
OP, don't rationalize. Your circumstances cannot be tweaked to your advantage. Personal example: yours truly had perfect SAT verbal score, and math pretty damned close to perfect. Was I valedictorian or salutatorian with those scores? Hell no. I coasted because I could and thought I was so much smarter than everyone else. My HS GPA did not reflect those scores in any way. As my parents have told me my entire life "you have never lived up to your potential".
Sit out freshman year. Knock out a 4.0 or close to it; get involved; and for the love of Mike don't be That Girl at the fraternity houses. You will have another opportunity as a sophomore. Make the best of it.
