[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of these girls that are committing  have attended multiple prospect ID camps at the school they chose, and these coaches have also been to many of the players' games. These are not decisions being made on a whim. I know for a fact because my daughter was with several of them at these camps since the summer before 9th grade. These players go to fall/winter/summer ID prospect camps to interact with coaches and see the campus on multiple occasions. It is a lifelong decision because of the alumni network and relationships that will last a lifetime. Many of these schools have amazing alumni networks and incredibly loyal alumni, especially for their lacrosse teams![/quote]Not sure if this is the PP, but you didn't answer the question(s).  Going to prospect camps in the summer since middle school isn't the same as being closer to a peer and actually hanging out with the team and students, getting a real feel for what will be their life and experience. Unless you're saying one school just always directs drills better for some girls, and that makes all the difference.  So why not use multiple visit to these multiple great schools?   [/quote] I meant since their freshman year they've been on campus multiple times for camps/clinics-- interacting with the players and coaches multiple times on top of doing an official visit. Many of them played with the teams at HHH committed games or Lake Placid as well. Plus, when you know you know it just feels right! But if anyone thinks these decisions are made on a whim, you're just absolutely clueless![/quote]It's one week into the recruiting contact period. No one has taken more than 1 official visit, if there was one at all.  If a player ONLY had one option to a top academic school and that was their priority, so be it and makes sense.  I highly doubt that's often the case.  Or for other type school student-athletes.  You are in denial.[/quote].  Denial? You are a troll or  absolutely out of touch. Many of these girls have already been on official visits doing one day or two back to back at multiple schools! Plus, they all hustled around and went to so many fall/winter/summer & August camps hitting their top schools. What you don't seem to understand is that these girls have had a interaction with coaches and players at prospect/clinics/showcases events over the past 2 years! This is why it's really important to go to the specific school prospect day so you can interact with the coaches and the players! Plus, they have older teammates and friends already on the team so they have a really good inside scoop on the culture and the vibe. The official visit just solidifies it. IYKYK If[/quote]Why are so many women's coaches then giving deadlines of a week or oftentimes less?  48 hours and the offer explodes?[/quote]

Is this the clueless person again? Very normal to give a week deadline or 48 hours. My 2022 was given 48 hours and had to adjust and move the official visit with a different school. -- not a big deal. There was no explosion of the offer. It's pretty simple. You're given a deadline and you work it out. The coaches want to fill their rosters and move to the next player if your daughter declines.
Deadlines are normal with recruiting. [/quote]This. Is. Exactly.  The. Entire. Point.  Players (parents) aren't making the decision because they weighed everything already and it's the "dream school" that they envisioned since they were in swaddling clothes.  They're doing because they have to.

48 hours/one week  deadline = exploding offer, as you didn't catch that.[/quote] The majority of these players are not taking an offer because they have to... Maybe a tier 2 player but the TIER 1 players are being recruited by 4-10 schools and have visited these schools for prospect camps/clinics usually multiple times. The offers from these schools are not a surprise. They KNEW the school had interest so they had all summer to visit the school and go to camps. You must have a player with no interest or a troll since you seem out of touch with how this process shakes out. [/quote]Your unhinged obsession with name calling and inability to carry on a normal conversation is telling.

The only one that keeps saying these offers are or aren't a surprise is you.

No matter how many times you say going to a prospect camp with mommie dearest in tow is the same as recruiting, it is not.  Coaches aren't allowed to carry on any conversation with a recruit until Sept 1.  That is 1st contact date.  Doing drills and scrimmages on a school's field is not a replacement.

What at least gives them a minimum feel for their future coaches?  Going to schools over 3-4 weekends with their top choice schools and meeting, being with the team, seeing how practice is run.  Staying with a player.  Getting an understanding how a coach treats a recruit and team.  Get full range of expectations and team interactions.

And once again, you don't understand what "have to take the offer" means.  It means if the player wants to actually weigh several schools fully, they can't because the offer has an unreasonable time limit.  Not allowing them to do so.

No one was blaming the players, the coaches are absolutely to blame for this nonsense.  And it looks like now we can add parents.[/quote]
