[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any other parents awaiting the D1 dead period to end so your DD or DS can choose where she/he will play next year?

While two D3 coaches want my DS to commit, he continues to ask them for more time. Four D1 schools also accepted him, yet he is no closer to knowing whether any of these coaches will invite him to play.

My DS is reluctant to accept a D3 roster slot only to later tell the coach he is leaving to join a D1 program.

Time is running out, and I would welcome hearing from other parents facing the same situation.

BTW, there were conversations at JeffCup that a lot of D1 programs saw players decommit last week ("Black Monday"), resulting in roster turnover.

What are other parents saying to their seniors? To the coaches?[/quote]

Go to the academically best school. Period.

He's very unlikely to do much with soccer post-college.   If he's in a competitive major--D1 is too time-consuming anyway and he'll miss out on the college experience.[/quote]
