[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I follow lacrosse and know some kids who play. Many of the top recruits who are currently juniors (i.e. just started junior year) have very publicly in the last few weeks declared where they are going - fancy IG posts, etc. I'm guessing they wouldn't be doing this unless they had an almost iron clad guarantee they were in (barring them totally screwing up academically). I'm almost sure the same applies for baseball. And likely some other sports.

It is a totally different process. And it is amazing to me that admissions is willing to commit to these kids so early. I'm a huge sports fan but this is really the tail wagging the dog. This is obviously the top, top kids I am referring to but it isn't just one or two  it is still a lot.[/quote]

I think these kids just want attention so they are showing off by announcing before it's official. They just want a lot of likes and "congrats bro" comments and "you did it!". They need affirmation. Competitive sports will rewire your brain to need/crave rewards.[/quote]

Exactly![/quote]
