Verbal Commitments on Unofficial Visits

Applying to College

<p>I was asked to come up to a school for my unofficial by the coach during my Sophomore fall. I'm a freshman right now. So i'm going up. This coach has seen me play multiple times before, and knows how I play. I've emailed him frequently about updates on my season. This is for WOMENS ICE HOCKEY. I'm one of the top female goaltenders in the country statistically and he knows that. He already told me that I'm on the top of his recruiting list. And they offered us football tickets while we're up there. They are in the top 5 as far as women's D1 college hockey goes.</p>

<p>I know making a verbal commitment sophomore year is not that heard of, but if he's asking me to come up for my unofficial now, does that mean they might ask me to make a verbal commitment? Also, do you typically make verbal commitments on unofficial visits? </p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>Ask on the athletic recruits section.</p>

<p>I honestly have no idea. However, I would suggest that you don’t make a commitment until at least junior year. For me, I thought I wanted to study a certain thing in my frosh and soph years of HS, but I changed my mind to something very different mid junior year. Also, You should take time to think about what you want in a college (academics, location, etc) since it seems like you will be fortunate enough to be able to choose wherever you wish to go. It would suck to make a commitment now and find out later you want to be somewhere else.</p>
