[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are D-3 schools restricted by the recruiting rules for D-1.  In other words, can a coach have direct contact with my son before junior year, and can they make an offer at any time?[/quote]

No they are not. D3 can reach out before Sept of Jr yr (D1 must wait until then to call/reach out).  They can and do but generally I hear they generally get commits later during summer between jr and sr year and throughout sr year. DS has received lots of interest from D3 his sophomore year but is not ready to commit anywhere. I'm sure they would be happy if he'd lock in but he has no interest in doing so before he sees what his D1 options might be.  Because of interest in D1, I think a lot of D3 commits come later (except maybe for NESCAC schools).  The kid has to get a read to see if they can pass the admissions bar.

He did go to one event which was useful because they talked about the recruiting process at a Q and A that parents also attended. Otherwise, DS just replies thanks and I'll let you know what tournaments/club team I'm playing for...he is being looked at by D1 schools now so I'm guessing nothing will shake out until end of junior year.  The kids need test scores, more grades and more time in front of the recruiters/visiting colleges. You can visit any school one time officially for the sport and there's a limit of 5 (I think) for D1 - if you're lucky to have interest from 5 D1 schools that your kid/you think might be a fit academically as well.[/quote]
