As a rule of thumb the schools want one goalie per class unless they know they need two or don't need any and they will almost never give money to more then one per class. Family's are often told we have no money for any goalie in the class because they gave a lot of money to the position last year.

Schools can not afford to have 3 or 4 scholarship players on the bench and as we all know only one goalie plays at a time.


That seems rational and consistent with what we have seen with a 2017 goalie. Some programs have committed money to a 2015 or 2016, or so they say, and that opens the reasoning for why they don't offer much for a 2017. Of course if they stay on script all the time like that everyone will be under the impression money is going elsewhere, and that suits the NCAA coaches well. I would not put that by them to try that script given how small the scholarship monies are in this sport. We went through this process starting early and there were no top schools not interested in a 2017 goalie we knew of, and we heard from most of the top ones.
