friend of mine is a college coach and they said it isn’t genuine interest. What they do is email the entire mailing list of any recruit who has emailed or filled out a questionnaire. It helps bring people into their fall camp. Don’t fall for it. Highpoint is a school that did this as well
Once again the hypocrisy of what college coaches are allowed to do. God forbid you don't tell a college coach the truth about where their school stands on your list or you lead them on about your interest in their school.....
Amen. Going through the recruiting process has been eye opening. These coaches preach mental health, etc yet have no problem lying to our kids and stringing them along for their own purposes. Disgusting.
I don’t think it’s lying or stringing them along. They aren’t being disingenuous for the most part. I just think it’s two sets of rules. Have to respect the coach and let them know the minute you move on. But they are called out for ghosting kids. They have the excuse “well they are busy recruiting.” Nonsense.
Understand what you are dealing with, read between the lines. Coaches make offers to the players that they want. If the coach is willing to talk to or meet with your daughter but not willing to offer her a spot it is very likely that the coach has other players ranked higher and is trying to commit them.
We constantly read on hear “don’t jump on the first offer”…. Parents and players seem to want to have their cake and eat it too.
The recruiting process is a wake up call for many, especially the people who can not realistically assess their child’s athleticism/lacrosse abilities.
Not trying to be mean or nasty, it’s just the way the process works, it’s reality.
