Denver, BC and Syracuse have very competitive aide packages. Florida is a strong academic school and out of state tuition (along with lax or edu aid) make is a nice option. Clemson may have nice facilities, but their academics are meh at best. BC, Syracuse, PSU, and Florida also have prominent alumni networks that are also extremely helpful for internships, jobs, etc.LiveLaxLove wrote: ↑Sat Jun 01, 2024 12:12 pmWLax seems like the only sport where recruiting stops once a commitment has been made versus when the NLI is signed, and I don't think there's a coach out there that wants to be the first to break that trend -- I'm sure the entire community will go after their players at that point.Brownlax wrote: ↑Sat Jun 01, 2024 10:24 amOn the men’s side of things - this is a pretty open practice. Certain coaches have made it clear that they will still recruit top players until they sign their NLI.LaxGnome22 wrote: ↑Sat Jun 01, 2024 9:36 amThat was going to be one of my questions. I guess if they contact her she should let the coach know. Although one of them was her top choice.watcherinthewoods wrote: ↑Sat Jun 01, 2024 7:25 amIt happens and pretty open secret among the coaches. My daughter's college coach told her class after a committed event where they turned some heads: "When they call you, you call me."LaxGnome22 wrote: ↑Fri May 31, 2024 10:02 pmIt was video views, multiple timesLaxDadMax wrote: ↑Fri May 31, 2024 9:58 pmNot a big deal for profile views. Some coaches just go through all of their saved players. Now if they are looking at videos, then that it something else.LaxGnome22 wrote: ↑Fri May 31, 2024 8:48 pm Here’s a question that I am not sure anyone has had experience with. My daughter has been getting hits on her still active sports recruit page the last week. Two top 30 teams multiple times. She’s been committed since September. Is this normal? She hits Live Love Lax next weekend for the start of the final tournaments (thank god). I have heard comments in the past that it happens depending on the sliminess of the coach. Has this happened to anyone?
This is a regular occurrence in other sports as well.
If a coach can change their mind on players or applying for another job, then kids should have the same opportunity.
I'll bet this trend does break in the near future, especially knowing that some schools will be left behind in the unlimited scholarship/paying players phase of collegiate athletics due to financial abilities. Example: why would a Syracuse, BC, or Denver commit that's going to pay $40-60k a year not listen to a Florida, Clemson, or Penn State coach, where they could go to school for free AND make money?
