Why do you say that? 90 percent of 2022 haven't comitted
For the girls who want top 40 soccer schools, things are tough. Many seem to be building classes earlier than usual.
If the player is Top 40 material, they would be in talks with the Top 40 coaches.
I know, my heart absolutely bleeds for those 800 kids across the nation in this spot.
The average class size is about 7...40x7 is 280.
There are roughly 800 kids being consistent for those 200+ spots.
Thats fine. Theyre all in the same boat.

There are 2022 girls in the area who were hoping to break into those 280 roster spots, or even the 500+ if you go to the top 80 D1 plus Ivy programs, over last spring through showcasing or ID camps. Because showcasing and ID camps didn't happen, combined with many of those coaches making early offers for 70% of their roster spots, turns into a really rough year for those girls. That's all.
I understand what you are saying. I just don't agree with it. I'm not seeing a l0t of Top 100 comittments from the Class of 2022. In fact, I'm not seeing a lot of comittments at all from the class of 2022. I think the dominions will fall in Spring. Everyone is on the same playing field for the most part

Players staying in college for an extra year is hurting the 2021 class

That's fine, nothing wrong with that at all. Illustrates that you have experience working as a member of team and possess, on some level, all of the hard/soft skills one generally learns as a teammate.

I always recommend D3 schools, myself. Great education, great playing experience.
Agree with all of this. However, there is the debt that the student is taking on. Schools like Colby, Bates and Bowdoin are some of the best small liberal arts colleges in the nation. But they'll run you $60k+ a year. If you're a good athlete, you'll get an aid package but it'll only cover a fraction of the cost.
my kid has the opportunity to play at those schools and politely said no, they need stuff to do outside of school and soccer. Sad to see their soccer career end but maybe play club at the bigger school but their choice not mine.

Honest question. Is the name of a school still carrying the extra weight as it did in years past.
