[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Finding people willing to commit to the level of play required for D1 is a lot tougher than it might seem given the number of high school players vs the number of D1 slots. It’s a full time, 6-7 days a week job “in addition” to going to class and pursuing an education, much less a full college experience however one defines that. It’s no surprise to me the portal is a go-to option now because you have seasoned, physically developed players with demonstrated all-in commitment to playing a sport vs high schoolers who you have almost no idea how they’ll respond to the obligations and level of play as compared with other options once you get away from the sports bubble and you’re on campus and on your own. And I don’t blame anyone who decides after seeing it up close decides it’s not what they want for their college experience. Rather, I respect the self awareness. I have two who played/are playing college - son at D1 and daughter at D3, both got/get minutes but weren’t/aren’t headliners (outside my own book of course!) As objective as I can be about it (and I confess, not very) my daughter has had a much better overall college experience. The third and fourth will do what they feel but if either or both decide one way or the other or to stop altogether, they’ll at least have those to look at for guidance, and I’ll be totally ok with it. When people say D1 isn’t for everyone, it may sound like a put down to some but it’s quite true and I personally wouldn’t do it today compared with my own time in the 90’s when there was a little more balance and fewer grown ups lining up against you. No regrets to be clear - loved all of it - but I think people need to be clear eyed about commitments like D1. [/quote]
