[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Been watching the girls’ commitments over the last month. A lot of colleges seem to be making offers in the last week or two for the 2022s.  It’s gonna be a really rough spring for kids who haven’t yet committed. [/quote]

Why do you say that? 90 percent of 2022 haven't comitted [/quote]

For the girls who want top 40 soccer schools, things are tough. Many seem to be building classes earlier than usual. [/quote]

If the player is Top 40 material, they would be in talks with the Top 40 coaches.

I know, my heart absolutely bleeds for those 800 kids across the nation in this spot.  :roll: [/quote]

The average class size is about 7...40x7 is 280.

[/quote]

There are roughly 800 kids being consistent for those 200+ spots. [/quote]

Thats fine. Theyre all in the same boat.[/quote]

No they aren’t. They’ll get to play in college, they just might have to lower their sights a little bit, but they will be recruited.

No, they aren’t in the same boat as most kids. [/quote]

Okay. Maybe I'm just not that smart...but I don't see how there is an advantage. Please explain the following.

1. How does one 2022 have a recruiting advantage over another 2022?

And no disrespect, but "lowering their sights" is something they should have been doing the whole recruiting process. There is nothing worse then realizing you're not Top 50 material too late in the process. The idea is to get as many schools interested as possible.. My kid wrote Top 100, Top 200 and Top 300 schools. She wrote every single in-state school. Why? Because quarter and half scholarships go much further with in-state tuition.

Some parents rather their kid walk on and sit the bench at an ACC school verse taking a full ride to a in-state school like GMU, Radford, ODU, etc. Not me, I say take the money, go play and have fun. Its the last hooray.

If you are a kid who is being recruited by a top 40 program but don’t get an offer for a top 40 program there are still other programs 41-100 where you will land. Those top 800 or so kids will find a school so a lot of unnecessary handwringing.

I just don’t see where all the sympathy is supposed to come from. They’ll be ok. [/quote]

So why are you responding to my post? I am aware of all of this. And what sympathy are you talking about? It goes without saying that the top 800 kids in the nation will find roster spots. So back to the conversation....

I was initially responding to the following quote:

“ For the girls who want top 40 soccer schools, [b]things are tough.[/b] Many seem to be building classes earlier than usual.”

My point is, that kids who are in ongoing conversations with Top 40 programs do not have it “tough”. [/quote]

Most parents who think their kid is Top 40 don't understand the recruiting process. You will know when a school really wants you and you are a top prospect. You will also know when a school is only slightly interested or has lost interest.
