I think we have to face up to it. maybe the poster a few ago that said the good 19's are done and committed was right ( as nasty and doushy as he was..) the difficult thing is getting your daughter to think about plan B. how exactly do you have the conversation about changing the goal to D3?? I mean they are great schools- and super hard to get into without academic assistance right?? is that the tact to take on this?
It isn't a correct statement, in addition to being nasty and douchy. There are plenty of spots left in D1 for 2019s. Maybe not at the very top lax programs (although they will always take someone late if they find that undiscovered talent ... think Canada etc.) but at the mid tier and lower tier. Having said that, academics and school fit should be the answer to your question along with a realistic assessment of your daughter's lax ability. The reality is the top D3 programs (upper NESCAC, Gettysburg etc) could compete with about a third give or take of D1 schools. They would beat the bottom end of D1. So how good is your daughter? Has she gotten interest at the D1 level but no offers yet? Or has it basically been silence? Do you know girls who have committed to mid-tier D1 programs? Is your daughter a similar player or not? If her academics are strong, that will help at all of these places. All is not over for D1 for the 2019's, but it may be time to truly assess your daughter's goals and ability.
