Hopefully your daughter's recruiting drive includes more than college questionnaires. Unless you're a top 100 player, the passive approach likely won't get it done. She really needs to have an active email campaign at a minimum advertising her presence at showcase X. Coaches are unlikely to scout a player without knowing the player has interest in advance. ID camps may or may not make sense as well.

Oh, the questionnaires was just what we were doing today. I guess it was on the mind. We e-mail a LOT and use SportsRecruits as it's very easy. Just put in college/uni and the coaches pop right up. Been to ID camps, but regional, nothing too far. We just hear how some uni's were very active before and then when the time came, ghosted some girls. We have till next June before she can enter into real dialog, but I like to see the process from all over. Seems straight forward really, you get out what you put in and yes, passively wishing for a coach to spontaneously find you so awesome they come to you is probably rare. She's pretty amped for showcases and I must say, thinking back a few years ago, a lot on this site poo-pooed showcases, but dang... SO many colleges watch us. It feels like there's at least one in there
