[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t take that advice last thing you want to be like is aggressive that is a red flag. Talk to your coach and recruiting director they should know if they are not honest than that is a major major red flag for the program. College coaches have a lack of respect for certain people in this community and speak volumes about the aggressive nature of one in particular. [/quote]

Disagree.   I would wait til 7/5 and then ask where I am on their recruiting chart.  If you can’t get a straight answer, drop the school from consideration. [/quote]

Thanks for all this advice. I just can't believe the coach would have said, repeatedly, you are our number one recruit, if they didn't mean it. I know where she is on the chart and I believe she really is at the top. I am pretty sure she didn't pass the pre-read and coach just doesn't want to tell her. I just wish she would have so she could get it over with and move on with her life. It probably means dropping the sport. She has one other offer from a decent school, but not one she would go to without the sport. She just didn't cast her net that wide. Moved very far down the road with two D1s, lost her first choice last fall becauser of freshman year grades, and the second one, the final spot came down to her and one other player and she lost. It's just been so frustrating and such a roller coaster. But she loves this NESCAC, was told she was THE one, so she wasn't that worried, except for the grades. Looks like this one is a no, too, though and she is devastated. We are thinking about a PG year and reaching back out to coaches who were obviously so interested in her to see if another year of academics would help. Thanks again![/quote]

Don't do a PG year without a contingent offer in hand.  would be a waste of $$ and time.[/quote]

Does anybody have any experience with that? Doing a PG year with a contingent offer? Do many, if any, of the NESCACS, offer that? DD is still devastated, hasn't heard, and now one of her good friends who she met through the process at the school has announced her commitment--it's the first friend she knows who's committed to this school (trying not to give too much away). I have to believe the coach is just working on something, but wondering if it's a no, whether we should ask about a PG year. DD is very young anyway, and could benefit from another year to get ready for the academics, though she would be ready as well. She is ready athletically, without a doubt. [/quote]

It’s certainly worth a discussion with the college coach if this year doesn’t work out this year, but hopefully I will! But if she PGs there are so many unknowns—what if your daughter does the PG year and the coach leaves; she doesn’t get her grades/test scores where the school wants them to be; is she ok with another year of high school, another season of HS lax and another fall/summer of club lax; does she have any other schools she’s really interested in that might work out instead? All of this can add to stress/burnout so if it comes down to this having an independent source or counselor she can trust to talk to would be key. Best of luck and I hope it all works out for your daughter![/quote]
