[quote=Anonymous]I know easily 10 kids that had offers by sophomore year. Generally, its a verbal agreement with stipulations.  You have to still get a certain # on your SATs, and maintain a certain GPA or whatever.  And if the coach leaves, you don't have to go there - this actually did happen to a friend of mine.  Child committed for a sport soph year, coach left, child ended up going to a different school for the same sport.

A lot of colleges don't really care at all about your grades if you are the athlete they are looking for.  they will give it lip service, but in the end, they will find ways to get you there.

Every sport's recruiting is different - and the gender matters, too.  For example, girls soccer often recruits earlier than boys soccer.  girls baskeball may recruit later., etc.

If your child is heading in that direction, talk to her coaches.  They will be able to advise you.  Sounds like you aren't interested in that route, though, and that's fine. The recruiting process is not all that fun.[/quote]
