[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I heard that NL girl didn't even make Nexus Championship and got multiple D1 offers with money.[/quote]

It's who you know. And club willing to make the connections for your. OR they know how to game things and get on the Max Top 150 list. There are kids listed there now and who will easily go D1 b/c of it wo having made it to Nexus championship. It's insane to me.

Which is why people acknowledge that D1 is not really talent-based, at least alone. It takes politics and knowing how to use the system. [/quote]

Without question you need your DD club coach to present her positively to college coaches- both as a player and person if the college contacts them.  I agree that making Nexus C and/or Max 150 is helpful in opening doors.   At the end of the day though, the most important thing is playing well in front of the colleges at their clinics, Lineup, showcase t. . .   The college coaches need to win for job security.  They may give a sixth offer at the end to a player on a preferred club, but the kids getting early offers and the vast majority of offers in general are for players that the schools think will help them win.  Those of you who post that recruiting didn't work out because of your kid's club coach, the system, etc just come across as bitter.[/quote]

Actually, the most important thing for playing at Georgetown is being a player who can get the grades, while also knowing how to place decent field hockey. They like to commit players they know will get in academically, with or without field hockey.[/quote]
