[quote=Anonymous]I hear a million different stories from a million different people, so i was hoping to crowdsource the rumors. I have a DD playing DA/ECNL who is interested in playing D1 soccer, probably not top 15 but viable for top 50. She is a freshman this year. I have no idea how to help her with this process, and the coaches at the club are helpful but focused on the girls in prime recruiting season and the ‘stars.’ And before the board jumps in, I am planning to sit down with them towards the end of the fall season, once she’s performed in a few games, to have a real conversation about what she’s thinking and what they can do to assist, but I wanted to get a little more info from the crowd first.

I felt like I had a better handle on the process prior to the NCAA rule changes, but now I’m just lost.  How much should she be actively doing at this point? Should she be emailing coaches already, even though they can’t email her back? Going to ID camps this winter to get on radar?  Taking SATs for an academic baseline? If it’s true that you will be contacted on Sep 1 of your junior year if you have a real chance, how do you actually get on those lists with the prohibition on unofficial visits and contact back from the coach? Is that true? Are the verbal commitments for the class of 2021 and 2022 listed on TopDrawerSoccer invalid now that the rules changed, or are there really girls making verbal commitments as freshmen and sophomores despite the NCAA rule change? How does that work? And is there a recruiting consultant out there who could actually help us navigate this process rather than being a huge waste of money?  [/quote]
