So what does the school do in those cases. They have a girl commit in 9th grade - lets say to UNC as a 2017. Now she get there freshman year and doesnt play at all. Next year they have more superstar freshman coming in. There will likely be a starter or two in that freshman class. Lets say that 2017 doesnt see the field as a
sophomore. Then what - does the school keep giving her a scholarship? She will likely not be a contributor in her junior year.


What planet are you from? This is new to you? The top programs (in every sport) bring in top talent every year. Do you think just because the player was recruited they would get playing time? Obviously another non athlete who has no idea what goes on at competitive programs. Nothing is guaranteed. Not every player who does not see significant playing time quits, some actually continue to work hard and fight for a spot. This is only a surprise to non athlete parents who think their daughter is special. Many players (in all sports) never see much playing time in college at competitive programs.

I don't think know it all at all.

The top programs bring in the top recruits every year. If you do not realize that fact you can sign your post "know nothing".

It doesn't matter if the girl committed in 9th or 12th grade. Most schools do not reduce scholarship unless there are issues. Scholarship can increase but they usually will not decrease simply because the player is not a starter. This is not rocket science and most of the big recruits who get the lions share of the scholarship money do become starters. Not all 8 or 9 recruits in a class are equal so the bottom half may never see the field.

The haters can hate all they want and they can wish for the top players to fail but in the end the best players go to the top programs and they play. That's why they win. So, until programs like Drexel, Bucknell, Cornell, UConn, Columbia or Marist start competing realize that although they are all D1 they are not equal to the top programs. Also realize that even recruits at those schools may never see the field.

worry about your own kid and help her choose a school that will be a good fit for her if she doesn't see the field. Or continue to wish for kids to fail.
