D1 coaches recruit on average 7 to 9 players a year women Now 10 to 14 + men. Lets do the math. Women have 12 scholarships men 12.6 these numbers are for the whole squad.

Top 10 D1 women ranked teams will take 7 to 9 recruits per school per year. That's 70 to 90 recruits total for all top 10 teams. If a top 10 coach wants say 9 typically 2 attack 4 mids 2 defense 1 goal every year.

How will the scholarship money be distributed? A womens fully funded coach has 3 scholarships a year on average to divide , therefore that's a 33% average scholarship per recruit.
Some schools give all the same 33%, most rate recruits in tiers.

Tier 1 and 2 kids visit soon after September 1 of junior year. Only a coaches top two or three recruits are offered a specific scholarship amount 33% to 100%( yes it does happen).
Realize for the top ten schools this may be 30 to 60 kids in the country total. Not inside lacrosse rank what the coaches want. The rest get offered less or are put on hold until the smoke clears and everyone sees who commits to who. Now these are verbals and they do limit a coach from getting another player if they verbal to one of these early commits. Typically transcripts are reviewed and a target SAT is discussed. Maintain the status quo grade wise and no other issues is also assumed.

Now who's at risk here ? Both parties. The kid has to hit the SAT # and the coach has to hope the kid keeps their commitment.
The recruit could find themselves in March of the senior year desperately trying to hit the SAT number. The coach could lose a kid senior year and have passed up on other recruits.

Let assume each top 10 team get 2 of these early cant miss studs at 50% scholar hip, whats left? 2 scholarships 6 or 8 kids.

Now if kids perform they can get more year by year but if they don't they can be reduced.

Some kids do get multi year deals.

Many kids get nothing but get in a much better school then they would have without lax.

Some families, money is no object, just get my kid into Princeton. This is a whole other system where the average kid may need 1300 on the SAT.

Three kids could need 1500 another 1300 another 1200. Guess who gets in with a lower SAT? The better player.

After all the initial kids commit in my previous scenario, round two begins in January junior year forward. This is when the coaches round out the class with the 2 or less remaining scholarships for the 6 or 8 remaining recruits.

I have never heard a top D1 team re neg if the kid gets the SAT # agreed upon, maintains grades, and does not get in trouble.
