If that’s the case, Penn State class of 24 is looking good!

Considering the girls are still in club season, how do the club coaches manage their teams. Do they let girls go to college camps? How about just taking a vacation?

Has anyone heard of commits being offered a scholarship and then additional money on top of that? Was just told a girl that committed to a non-power 5 school was offered $30,000 on top of receiving a full scholarship. I don’t know how true this is, but I thought that was absurd. This is plausible. Between cost of attendance and academic incentive program money, you can easily get to $7,500 per year. There might be schools where just the cost of attendance stipend is that much. Especially schools out East now that I think of it. |

I don’t know how true this is, but I thought that was absurd. they could be talking about the NIL settlement as well. Schools are free to distribute it as they see fit. Some are tying it to GPA but I think it’s 6k a year. So 5 years of school would be about 30k? |

Devin Kahahawai is one of the top players in the 2022 class - she didn't commit to Texas until October, 2021. That is the equivalent of this class making their commitment 16 months from now. Charitie Luper - committed to UCLA about 8-20 months later than most of the other top recruits in the 2021 class. There is no reason any of these 2024 PSA's need to feel rushed in making a decision. I think the one thing people don't see is how much work the recruiting process is. It can be physically and mentally exhausting. It is fun at first but then it becomes stressful and tiring. I think once the fun has worn off, PSAs have a pretty good idea of where they want to go and once they have that offer they jump. No more calls, no more making videos after tournaments. They can go back to playing and playing without recruiting looming over them. |

With the previous system, you kind of eased into it. You reach out to one coach and talk. Then a few days or even weeks later another. The great part is if you aren't ready to start conversations, you didn't have to because you were the one that had to make the initial contact.
Current system, a gun goes off at midnight on June 15 and you start drinking from the fire hose. Call after call. They all start to sound alike. Also this goes for the coaches too.
Then you have to figure out what camps and visits to go on. For alot of PSAs there isn't an open checkbook to pay for the travel and camps. And for alot it make sense to wait until June 15 to see what schools even are interested in you rather than to waste time at a school where you aren't high on their list.
I'm not a fan of verbally committing at a young age, but I did prefer the old way of kind of easing into the process more. And really the number of girls committing in 8th grade or even freshman year was small. So in fact for the majority it probably did draw the process out longer in actuality.

And really the number of girls committing in 8th grade or even freshman year was small. So in fact for the majority it probably did draw the process out longer in actuality. I have never had to go through the process - so I am looking from the outside. My view is that expectations need to change with the new rules and there doesn't need to be the pressure of rushing to commitments placed on teams and players - that seems to be happening now. Our expectations are that PSA need perfect knowledge on 6/15 - because time is very short on making this crucial decision. I am suggesting time isn't short - the expectations are off - and this will change/improve over time as people get use to the new rules. Old system: Players and coaches start the recruiting process at age 14/15. Players take 1- 2 years to make a decision and have things wrapped up by age 16. Then lower tiers start falling into place by age 17. New System: Players and coaches start the recruiting process at age 16. Players take 1-2 years to make a decision and have things wrapped up by age 17/18. We get rid of all that work and pressure at early ages and now allow coaches and players to make more informed decisions. Players are older, more information about team needs, rapidly improved players aren't behind in the process - these things all increase the chances that both sides make the right decision. And since the process starts later - there isn't an increase in exhausting recruiting time by the PSA. |
