[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Coaches in the DMV do not know how to develop players or get them recruited for college. They’re stealing your money.[/quote]

LOL.  Sure.

While my DD is a 2027 grad and went through this last year, she has several on her team that are 2028's and all had calls today.  It will be interesting to see where they commit.

I did here that the official visit time got pushed out now to mid-August from August 1 which only I think causes more kids to commit before visiting schools.  [b]Plus, I believe the whole timeframe is getting pushed out next year as well from the summer before Junior year to mid-year Junior year[/b].  Ugh.   [/quote]

Oh wow. Is this well known? Is this something you heard from clubs or colleges? [/quote]
Don’t listen to them. If anything the timeframe has moved up. This is what people to sabotage the competition. Get ready for misinformation and hiding of  information from people you thought were your friends. Game on. [/quote]

I don’t think you’re understanding what they’re saying. The official NCAA timeline is going to be moved back. It’s not official yet, but it’s very likely to happen. Nobody’s trying to sabotage you or your precious DD.[/quote]

Yes.  Sorry if the wording wasn't clear.  The NCAA is considering moving the official timeline later into the year.  From Summer into the early Spring.  Carry on.  [/quote]

I hope this is the case.  But I also hope kids will be allowed to have college visits before then as well.  One issue with the early June 15th date, although it is well intentioned, is that kids are being asked to make a decision without ever having visited campus. [/quote]

Yeah, that was a big deal to our DD.  She made it clear that she wasn't going to commit if she didn't see the campus, get a chance to meet  in person, etc.  That being said, nothing is preventing kids from visiting colleges prior to the official start of recruiting, just like any other perspective student.  Just the fact that it's on the kids dime at that time.   DD was pretty targeted in visiting schools and went to a handful of ID camps.  She wanted to get a feel for different size schools - went to a local private, to a bigger private, a in-state public and two out of state publics. We were able to drive to all of them. The ID camps all included campus tours and also went through the athletic facilities which she found very helpful to see the difference between a smaller private A10 school versus what's available at a large ACC school!  I know, not surprising, but good for her to see.

She was fortunate in that none of the coaches she was working with in recruiting put her in a position where it was commit today or we are dropping the offer.  So, she went on two official visits that were paid by the school.  Canceled the third that was scheduled and committed in mid-August.  Now, going into her senior year, it's all about continuing to grow, improve and stay healthy and fit.

Good luck to all going through this now.  [/quote]
