You think schools like Ole Miss are pressuring kids to commit? Lol That’s exactly the kind of school that could employ a successful strategy of forcing immediate decisions. The athlete that Top 10 programs are recruiting but is their backup. They won’t get the offer from the top program on Day 1, but might in a week when that school loses out on their top target. So you make them commit immediately. Edit to add, I had no clue how Ole Miss runs their recruiting this is not meant to be a comment on that program at all.

Here’s a Tweet from a club director of a club who is solid, but who rarely qualifies open.
I’m sure that tweet didn’t come out of the blue. It’s in reaction to what has gone down this week.

Never heard of that club . The only people I hear complaning are 1) the recruiting services who lose business 2) the parents of kids in the second tier who didn’t get a shot at their dream school. 3) Club Directors from unknown clubs, like above, who feel bad their athletes didn’t stand a chance bc spots are given away too early, Show me a tweet from the directors of Skyline, Legacy or 1st Alliance upset at their top athlete committing to their dream school

It’s in reaction to what has gone down this week. lol trying to come off with this false sense of “looking out for the athlete” or “doing what is right” for them. Meanwhile charges 100$ for a private and encouraged/makes their players attend their camps and pay more and more money each year.

They can commit to the coach but before they go public the paper work needs to go to the admissions office with their transcripts. Some schools have academics first and GPA needs to be there for those schools. How embarrassing for a student athlete to commit and then be told your grades don’t get you in here. Better to wait and be sure before posting online. Most Coaches already know who qualifies and isn’t going to spend time on someone that can’t get in his school, but if some elite player takes a flyer and commits to a school that didn’t recruit her at the 11th hour on the weekend and admissions is all locked up the coach could be scrambling to dot the i’s and cross the t’s.

The reality is: these issues are easily combatted if the adults involved, particularly at the club level, are open and honest with athletes about what this process is going to look like. It is still a VERY small percentage of the athletes that will go on to play in college that will commit prior to the second semester of their junior year. There are plenty of clubs setting realistic expectations for their athletes and focusing on this process as being unique to each athlete. Being clear that, in general, the athlete is NOT the exception, but the rule. Recruiting is a marathon for most; not a sprint. However, that doesn’t sell well on social media and when clubs are trying to point to their recruiting record as a sales pitch for bringing more athletes into their club, they tend to skip over those things. There are plenty of clubs/Recruiting Coordinators that handle it well, set reasonable expectations, and work with all of their athletes at the pace that is appropriate for their athlete’s level, but those are still the minority. But that’s what comes when money gets involved.

You think disallowing coaches from talking to sophomores directly until June 15th then having a bunch of commits that first week makes recruiting services LESS important? Intermediaries have basically been acting as these kids' agents for the past 6 months. The recruiting process is REQUIRED to go through them. And as I've said many times, there isn't a system that would prevent a top rated recruit from going to her dream school. So it's silly to use that as the measuring stick.

Do you mean he should've been preparing his athletes for THAT reality?

Do you mean he should've been preparing his athletes for THAT reality? If their athletes are that caliber, sure. And the conversation goes something like this “hey, you may get a super quick deadline on an offer. If you 100% know that’s your top choice school, cool. Take it. If not, there will be plenty of other options that could be a better fit. No need to jump into something unless you’re sure.” This is not rocket science.

Someone should start a "'26 Commits thread" dedicated to just good news for these athletes!

They're saying the same things.
