HI Marcus,
First of all, it's normal to be nervous before games. That's actually a good thing, because it means you care. I'm really not an expert on what D-1 colleges are looking for. There will be lots of scouts that come to your games, especially if your school has a good basketball program. If your a guard, then your going to be scouted against other guards in your league. They are going to compare how you are with all the rest, and then take it from there. There really isn't any one bit of advice I can give you on how to get recruited. I wish I could offer you more advice on that, but that's a question better suited for your coach. Good Luck.
