<p>DVC Daisy - I am sorry if I offended you in any way. I didn’t mean to “slam” you - I’m sharing my experiences going through this process as well. I think that this forum is a wonderful place and takes a collaboration effort. And many times these experiences may vary, and there are many ways to go about this all, and I think this forum provides great insight into what a prospective-student athlete has to deal with.</p>
<p>Thanks for correcting my mis-statement. Yes - these schools get a substantial number of kids QUALIFIED to play D1, and some of these were committing at the end of the summer. I assume your next comment was referring to my post on another thread, about calling back, and no, of course it is not a guarantee. But again, in my experience, a coach calling me on his own initiative meant he was seriously interested. It is only anecdotal evidence, but in every case where a coach had initially called me I ended up with an official visit offer, and if I took it every time I ended up with an actual offer.</p>
