Yeah nuts I was at a game and one of the dads from Wi was telling everyone she committed to Spallina
If it were even true, that is something they should keep to themselves. They could get Spallina into a lot of trouble and ruin a rising program. Not smart.
Depends when offers were made, and if they accepted before the rule change. Some families including 2020's and 2021's have sat on offers from before the rule change (from other schools, no knowledge of Stony Brook's practices on who and what ages received offers already). Even if an offer was made and accepted, who is to say it will be honored anyway, and who is to say that a kid can't attend a school and go out for a team without a scholarship. I bet many of the kids at Stony Brook, Albany and other state schools receive very little Athletic Aide because coaches know that the schools are already way cheaper than anywhere else the kid can go and play. Coaches know the rules and wont risk them for 8th graders or any graders for that matter, no matter how good they are or aren't. Not a whole lot of scholarship money at stake for the SUNY schools anyway so who cares.
