| Anyone willing to share insights about how things are going for 22 and 23 girls, especially after summer ID camps? It looks like recruiting is waning for D1-focused 22s and picking up for 23s, but you know how people are cagey about this stuff until there’s actually a verbal commitment. Hoping that anonymity is helpful in getting some useful info here. |
Depends what level of of play within D1 you are looking at. On the girls side, most of your power 5 schools have been done with 2022s. Your top power 5 schools like UNC, UVA, FSU, etc. are basically done with their 2023 class too. Committments from 2023s have picked up recently, so expect a wave of committments over the next couple months. As is the case every year, the tier that includes CAA and A10 schools will see a wave of comittments after spots on power 5 rosters start evaporating. There number of players transferrring is at an all time high, so not sure how big an impact this is having on recruiting. |
Very informative |
2023s should be scheduling official visits to take place over the next few months. |
This is not accurate at all. Power 5 (although a less relevant category for soccer) schools are not basically done with 23s. On the girls side, most top soccer programs are wrapping up 22s and the academic/ivy schools are just now solidifying their commitments. For the boys the 22s have really just started to get offers and make commitments, but that process will continue through the fall. For the girls 23s, you’ll see an early wave of commitments for a small set of players now, the bulk will come in late winter/spring after the fall college season and the winter ID camps. For the boys, only the exceptional player that is choosing college over pros will be making any sort of commitment. The 23s should focus on their target schools and have honest discussions with the college coaches about feasibility. The 22s may need to look at programs that they had not originally considered, still lots of options out there… |
DD's club has completely underprepared DD for college. Reading these posts can be so upsetting |
"Done" as in down to just a handful of players they are looking still looking at to close out the class with. Anson Dorrance said himself that UNC is done with 2023 recruiting, basically decided between 3 or 4 players for the last spot available. Ivy Schools are not Power 5, yes they are still heavily recruiting 2022s. Boys is always a year behind girls in terms of recruiting timeframe. Agree with the last two sentences....that is the current phase for girls of those age groups. |
Most clubs don't help much at all. It is up to the players (families) to figure out their own journey. |
Makes sense since boys develop so much later than girls. My one son grew a foot between Freshmen year and Senior year. |

If you are attending ID camps you are not being recruited you are marketing yourself.
Huge difference between being recruited and having to market yourself. Yes, everyone gets the we are interested in you mass emails saying they want you to attend their ID camp. How do you think schools pay for their fancy jackets and winter gear that is not in the athletic departments budget? |
Our boys programs receives much more attention, dedication, and professional training than our girls. I don't want to hear "most clubs xyz" when I was told we are a "destination club". Utter nonsense and a lie. |
You are certainly able to market yourself by attending camps....mainly if you stand out of the rest. But to say you are not being recruited at camps is false. |
| Anson picks his kids straight from the YNT. This is far from normal and does not represent all power 5s |
I would not put too much in a parent regurgitating what Anson Dorrance told campers at a clinic. 23s have a year until they can take officials, get offers, openly communicate. Your DD isn’t going to UNC. Don’t worry about Anson. |
This is not informative because it’s false. Its inaccurate at best. Talk to your club about recruiting. Not anonymous nova soccer parents on DCUM. |
