[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does this work?  Are these schools even looking at these grades.  These kids are only now juniors![/quote]

I feel like you might be new here?? Just a guess  :roll: [/quote]

That.... and clueless![/quote]

Yes I am.  So can you answer the question now?  Please and thank you.  My daughter plays travel soccer but is only 10 so I'm trying to get smart if that's okay.[/quote]

Sounds like a legit question so here is a legit response.  Almost a decade ago, college coaches began accepting verbal commitments from players and announcing these verbal commitments at a younger and younger age.  It was so out of control that lacrosse players in 8th grade were committed and by 9th grade many of the D1 slots were filled at top schools.  The IWCLA and IMCLA (not NCAA) agreed to a set of rules where college coaches could not discuss offers until Sept 01 of the Junior year.  Military academies could offer in July leading into the Junior year.  It is now common that offers are made and top players are selected right after Sept. 01 and some calls are made at midnight.  Typically a prospect sends club coaches transcripts of grades so that a likely academic match can be made.  However, these verbal commitments are contingent upon maintaining the academics  at the time of the offer.  Offers have been pulled or students make other plans when grades and school do not align.  For the most part the offers hold up.  The key is that the school will likely hold that roster spot.  However, nothing is binding until fall of Senior year when a prospective athlete signs a National Letter Of Intent.  This is where you would see signing ceremonies and official acceptance to the school.  I hope this helps.[/quote]
