[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For parents who have been through the recruiting process before, I was curious as to how often kids on the "second tier" list eventually get offers? I realize probably never for a UNC/BC/MD level school; but what about a #10-30 ranked program? Like many 2024 kids/parents we are pretty anxious right now but wanted to be prepared for what to expect on Thursday and beyond. Thanks in advance.[/quote]

I would not associate the top 10-30 schools with “second tier”. Assuming schools take on average 8-10 players per class you are talking about the top 240-300 players in the 2024 recruiting class. My DD had several players from her team commit to top 30 programs late into the Fall and into Winter.[/quote]

Apparently I am not phrasing my question clearly. I am not saying that #10-30 are 2nd tier. I'm saying if my kid is on a school's 2nd tier list how likely is it that she will get recruited by said school?

For parents of 2023 (or older)  - did any of your girls get recruited by a top 30 program where your daughter was originally not on their top tier list?[/quote]

My DD had interest from several top 30 schools that were not on her original list. While she appreciated their interest she was quick to thank the coaches for their interest and let them know she was pursuing other opportunities that align better with her overall interests. Coaches really do appreciate this. It’s flattering to know top 30 coaches are interested, but if the school(s) are not a good fit academics + location + lacrosse as a professional courtesy let them know early and move on. I hope for your DD gets the call she wants, but if not be prepared to pursue the options that align with her interests first. Don’t jump at a school just because they are a top 30 program.[/quote]

Great post.   One more piece of advice is to act quickly.  [b] If you get an offer from any school in your daughters top 5.  Jump at it. [/b]

Often a scenario like this unfolds.  A coach may be recruiting for 2 defenders.   She make 4 offers and the first two to accept get them.

Remember offers can be pulled like that if a similarly talented girl commits.

Jump on it, you mean commit? How much pressure does the school put on you to commit after they offer? Isn't it reasonable to take official visits to 3-4 schools first?
