Not sure if this is the PP, but you didn't answer the question(s). Going to prospect camps in the summer since middle school isn't the same as being closer to a peer and actually hanging out with the team and students, getting a real feel for what will be their life and experience. Unless you're saying one school just always directs drills better for some girls, and that makes all the difference. So why not use multiple visit to these multiple great schools?

Maybe the kids had a pick of which school they wanted and the whole time they knew exactly which one they wanted....not sure why that is so hard to understand. If you are a sought after recruit you can pick where you want to go so if your dream school is Yale not a whole lot to consider.

It is also not like they are choosing community colleges. These are all great academic institutions. If my kids get a call from Yale saying "hey come to school here please" I am not going to lose any sleep over whether they should have gone to a better school...

I know a lot of girls going on visits this week at some top-notch/highly ranked schools! Also, some big visits this weekend coming up! Exciting! I hear this year is moving at lightning speed, with almost double the amount of commits from last year at this time!

Yes, it's really exciting that more and more players are making what are effectively life-long decisions inside a week of speaking to anyone. Next year will go even faster!

is it really a life-long decision? more and more players are utilizing the transfer portal. it's a 1 year commitment these days.
