[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone out there have a son who was recruited to play D3 lacrosse?  When do offers (at least tentative ones) go out, and do they usually put a time limit on when you can accept?[/quote]

Are you sure you understand the DIII process?

What "offers" are you talking about? What form do you imagine these "offers" will take?[/quote]

There are given grants... that are set aside for their athletes. Good news, if you quit the sport the grant does not go away.[/quote]

Rather than sniping at each other, or speaking in gibberish, can someone in the know talk about D3 recruiting?[/quote]

Rather than have someone lay it all out for you, why don't you start with reading the NCAA Handbook on Recruiting available on their website. Then you would understand the rules, as a starting point. And what the coaches say and do would make sense to you. And you would be able to recognize the clueless among the posters on here.

At the DIII level, no one signs anything. There are no formal offers, because there isn't anything to offer (Like a full or partial scholarship) There is no financial aid except as part of the regular Admissions process. Financial Aid packages may include a combination of loans (which need to be repaid) and Grants (which do not). If the a school is tying financial aid to recruiting in DIII they are in violation of NCAA rules. The idea that a school has a reserve of grant money reserved for athletes is absurd. What would be the difference between that and a partial scholarship? I suspect that either the poster above misunderstood what they were being told or that there may be some untruthfulness going on here.

The coach may or may not have a number of "passes" with Admissions. In the NESCAC, they use the Ivy Academic Index (AI) as a guide. Football and Basketball get the lion's share of slots in the lower AI tiers. If you are interested in that you can download a copy of the guide too. [/quote]
