Athletic recruiting

<p>My Daughter is being recruited by one DII and several DIII schools. Her first choice by far is the DII. We have never been through the process before. An assistant coach saw her at a tournament and we were asked to come up for a visit. We were given tour by head coach and assistant very nice answered ur questions etc. When we had our initial visit we asked and were told that they were recruiting three kids for her year. We did not ask where she stood on their depth chart which I have learned we should have asked. I know there is at least one ahead of her who recd a scholarship offer. After our initial visit The head coach came to see my daughter play at a tournament called her the next day said she was impressed etc wanted to "accelerate the process" have her back in sept to meet team etc. she is going in a few weeks. </p>

<p>I guess im wondering if the fact that we are coming for a second visit after beeing seen again means she will likely get an offer. I am alos wondering if me or my daughter should ask the coach now ar at the upcoming meeting were we stand. We are being asked by a few schools to come visit. If we knew she was going to get an offer from the DII we would probably eliminate several of those visits.</p>

<p>Thanks for any info</p>

<p>Sorry for all the typos!</p>

<p>First, yes, put this on the athletic recruiting page–the mod’s will probably move it there. Second, do NOT eliminate those other visits. First. what if she doesn’t like the team mates, what if the dollars don’t work out, what if one of those DIII schools come up with a better “merit aid” package for her?. It’s rare to get a full ride scholarship at the DII level so keep that in mind too.</p>

<p>First…Congratulations to your daughter. She’s obviously a talented athlete and should feel proud about that. As for next steps, I don’t think it’s inappropriate this late in the summer to ask the coach for some feedback…but I wouldn’t necessarily expect the coach to say “oh…your daughter’s a longshot”, ya know. From my experience, it’s always in their best interest to paint as optimistic a picture as possible. Unless the time committment or costs associated with visiting other schools is prohibitive it’s never a bad idea to keep options open. And having an extremely interested D3 coach on the line might be just what a noncommittal D2 coach needs to make a decision. Good luck!</p>
