<p>@myluckydog - The sport is tennis. Some of the schools he is looking at could conceivably fill numerous slots via ED, although I do not believe there are hard limits on tennis recruits. If a tennis coach can add a desired recruit, he will generally do it. Also, I follow a recruiting website in our sport and you can see when kids commit. There are definately a fair amount that commit via ED, but many also come later via RD.</p>
<p>In our case, I think RD is definately the way to go because he is up for some full merit scholarships at some schools that don’t award until March, and I am not sure he can visit all the schools by Nov 1. I understand the risk of ED/RD, but he is looking at many schools that want him. I can’t believe they will all throw him under the bus if he goes RD, although I will certainly listen to what the coaches have to say about this during further discussions.</p>
<p>Also, can someone tell me how to quote replies – I can’t figure it out.</p>
