[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a kid that played at one of these HA D3 that does well in the NCAA tournament.  He went to one Showball camp and played on a local travel team.  He had the grades and the skills and got the coaches attention at Showball, then followed up with an email to the HC.  [/quote]

We're on a similar path -- I hope. Just wrapped sophomore year. Ivies and D3 are on a different recruiting calendar, so everything I have heard says that it makes sense to do Showball in the summer after junior year. Is that what your son did?[/quote]

Ivy schools have to adhere to the NCAA D1 calendar while D3 has no restrictions.

[b]Summer after junior and Fall of senior are key.[/b]

This is good to know.  It’s such a different landscape than when we were kids.  I am not necessarily actively trying to get my (currently 8th grade) kid recruited, but I don’t want to completely fail as a parent by not getting him positioned at some point to even have a chance.

I don’t want to introduce the transfer portal…but that has upended recruiting.  D3 kids looking to transfer to D1…D1 kids transferring to other D1.  Coaches spend more time watching summer college leagues trying to get transfers vs high school kids.

Some schools recruit D1 kids then cut them from the team when they show up on campus because they did better in the transfer portal.

It’s nuts…a little better now that all the Covid kids with an extra year of eligibility are finally out of the system.[/quote]
