[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe I missed it but I haven’t seen an answer as to if this is a binding offer or if the school can change their mind. It seems really early unless a player is USWNT material. And do schools review apps from an academic perspective before junior year?[/quote]

Seriously????? 
Most girls commit before their JR year. Seriously look at Soccer Wire or Top Drawer or EVERY SINGLE club website in the area. 
YES - schools review academic material and YES the kids have to continue to excel academically and turn in data. 
They are only verbal commits at this stage. Either side and back out but it is rare for the college to back out. 
At most high academic schools the girls can commit early but must have specific SAT or ACT scores.  My kid committed as a Sophomore but had to have a SAT of 1450-1500.  Georgetown, Duke, Wake, UVA, Michigan, William and Mary are just samples of schools requiring academic excellence as well as soccer skills. [/quote]

So how is she doing now? Your DD must have committed years ago before the NCAA rules because NOBODY can commit BEFORE THE END of sophomore year. Would have to be a rising Junior in order to come before those rules. Nobody, no matter how good. It is illegal to give an offer before June 15th. I think less than 14 girls committed two weeks after June 15th but pace picked up after that.

Parents, if any coach contacts you before June 15th at end of Sophmore year, that is a major red flag and you should immediately cross them off your list. Do not mess with NCAA R&R on recruiting. [/quote]

Coaches can have contact during camps and through club coaches.  [/quote]

Coaches at camps cannot talk about recruiting with a player.  Most coaches will not even evaluate you from camp because they do not want to cross the line.  Yes the can talk to club coaches.  Our club had a policy not to tell player or parents of the contact or the substance of the call.  So not sure how that helps. [/quote]

Coaches are allowed to coach the players and provide feedback to those players.  It happens in every sport at every college.  Sometimes coaches will make a player camp to earn an offer.  They're always evaluating campers so your interl is way off.  [/quote]

Been to a ton of ID camps.  Including a number of P4.  If it is before June 15 after Soph year many will not provide feedback at all at that time.  Of course if a GK made a good save they would say good save.  But no post camp discussion.  If they like you they will call June 15 or thereafter but nothing before that.[/quote]

Been to a ton of ID camps too. Only a handful will give feedback on the spot after it concludes. Almost all replied as they asked players to follow up by text or email. We didn't target P4 schools for a variety of reasons (mostly travel conflicts as DD wants to pursue pre-med), but I think only one school never replied and she was early in Sophomore year. We also didn't attend ID camps where we didn't have at least a little interest from the coaches, and ruled out 3rd party camps because of advice from former team mates who said it was a waste of time/money grab.

Will echo one bit of advice where others commented on the college recruiting process: Go where you're wanted. [/quote]
