[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FWIW, don't go in with high expectations. DS approached the college coach after admissions and was basically stiff armed. They do tend to bring in all they need through the recruitment process, even if none of them are getting $$ or a thumb on the scale.[/quote]

Boys may be different in terms of timing but my female rising college freshman was offered her spot (D3) late in her HS junior year and committed in July, then was accepted (high academic school) ED. It’s pretty late to be having a first conversation with the coach. Agree that Coach Renee is great and her steps worked for us but my kid started the process as a sophomore. And had lots and lots of video to share with the coach— do you have film?[/quote]

How could it be late to having a discussion? Plenty of schools haven't even issued admission decisions yet. Why would an athlete be having discussions with a coach of a school he isn't in yet?[/quote]

All your comments here indicate you are not familiar with college recruitment.[/quote]

Seriously this.

Look, I happen to believe that there is a D3 spot for most decent athletes who want to play. If you go in with the right expectations. I def know kids who were not that great, but have spots in college at low level competitive D3 schools. But, hey, they are still playing in college.

But, while some schools recruit late (through end of senior year) most are earlier. These athletes have been talking with coaches, going to clinics, and sending film for a couple years. It's the rare situation where you can expect to swan in the fall of the first year of college (or summer before) and expect to get a spot. [/quote]

Seen it happen and seen them okay minutes over recruited kids. How you like them apples?[/quote]

I don't give a sh-- either way, honestly. Your sample size of 1 doesn't negate the typical path, which is as described. 
Fact.[/quote]

Chill, bro. You're making an ass of yourself.[/quote]

The only ass is in your mirror, bro.[/quote]
