nice to see helpful information posted on this forum for once. Everyone's experience will be different with recruitment, it's nice to hear how other girls were approached, and how the process is going. A lot of kids and parents feel this is a race, but if you're daughter is in 9th grade like mine is now there's no hurry.
But there is a rush. The scholarships are what they are and once the money is all doled out your daughter could become one of the kids who "commits" with no athletic offer. Don't think that every kid listed as committed to schools on the travel clubs websites actually get money. Those lists are just where the kids ultimately decide to go. Just like D3 kids committing. All it means is they have an offer or agreement with the coach that they have a roster spot and not a tryout. Not every kid gets money especially as rosters continue to expand
The money in most cases is pretty small anyway. The big payoff is your kid getting into a better academic institution than they otherwise could. Do you want your kid going to Duke w no money, or Adelphi w 5-10k?
That's just not realistic , these kids that are committing early are getting 50 percent of cost of attendance and more. Many are also using lax to get into schools they may not otherwise .
Syracuse is rostering 44 outstanding young ladies while only having 12 scholarships that's about .27 award on average could some get .5? maybe but chances are not as an 8th or 9th grader
True, Syracuse is NOT giving an 8th grader 50% sorry! Syracuse gives money to the girls who have earned starting positions on the team and re-evaluates scholarships each year.
That's why you always get a few early commits going to No Name U, because those schools pony up bigger up front athletic award
