Studied abroad, played all 4 years, got the NCAA athletic experience and a phenomenal academic education. NESCAC Schools are amazing. Same with Patriot League. We have nieces and nephews at SEC schools. . .huge rosters and less playing time but great energy and support behind the athletes. Listen to your coaches. Trust your kids. This can be an amazing college experience for them.

I always recommend D3 schools, myself. Great education, great playing experience.

Agree with all of this. However, there is the debt that the student is taking on. Schools like Colby, Bates and Bowdoin are some of the best small liberal arts colleges in the nation. But they'll run you $60k+ a year. If you're a good athlete, you'll get an aid package but it'll only cover a fraction of the cost.

Honest question. Is the name of a school still carrying the extra weight as it did in years past.

my kid has the opportunity to play at those schools and politely said no, they need stuff to do outside of school and soccer. Sad to see their soccer career end but maybe play club at the bigger school but their choice not mine.

That's fine, nothing wrong with that at all. Illustrates that you have experience working as a member of team and possess, on some level, all of the hard/soft skills one generally learns as a teammate.

Players staying in college for an extra year is hurting the 2021 class

Been watching the girls’ commitments over the last month. A lot of colleges seem to be making offers in the last week or two for the 2022s. It’s gonna be a really rough spring for kids who haven’t yet committed.

For the girls who want top 40 soccer schools, things are tough. Many seem to be building classes earlier than usual.

If the player is Top 40 material, they would be in talks with the Top 40 coaches.

I know, my heart absolutely bleeds for those 800 kids across the nation in this spot.

The average class size is about 7...40x7 is 280.

There are 2022 girls in the area who were hoping to break into those 280 roster spots, or even the 500+ if you go to the top 80 D1 plus Ivy programs, over last spring through showcasing or ID camps. Because showcasing and ID camps didn't happen, combined with many of those coaches making early offers for 70% of their roster spots, turns into a really rough year for those girls. That's all.

I understand what you are saying. I just don't agree with it. I'm not seeing a l0t of Top 100 comittments from the Class of 2022. In fact, I'm not seeing a lot of comittments at all from the class of 2022. I think the dominions will fall in Spring. Everyone is on the same playing field for the most part

There are roughly 800 kids being consistent for those 200+ spots.
