Apply to the school(s) you love and hope for a walk on spot. That's your hope. There's always club teams too.
In all seriousness it's either done or close to done for all programs. Most coaches moved on awhile ago, especially big programs, to next year and beyond. Maybe some small programs, especially D3, will still take a player or two.They either
- had already locked in or identified the all key players they wanted before last spring
- had already locked in or identified some key players they wanted and filled the rest with film, phone calls etc
- have decided to go with smaller classes for this year
- have filled in with some returning 5th years or transfers
Plenty of student athletes deferred or red shirted a year which means they'll be vying for PT as "freshmen" as well. There will be ripple effects for awhile.
Also athletes almost always have to apply Early Decision or Early Action. Those applications are due Nov 1- Jan 1. In other words, now. The dead period got moved out to to April, there's almost no showcases and with travel restrictions not many coaches can or want to travel. No ID events either because colleges don't want cases possibly coming on campus.
Even in normal times if you're not recruited this late in the fall it's pretty late. Covid just made it so much harder. The 22s should be ok but their timelines are definitely messed up. Stay healthy and hope things resume in April.

There are some really good 2021s out there that get missed because they don’t have the glorious ECNL or GAL patch on their sleeve. Some of these girls could be huge playmakers

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostWrong. If a good player gets missed, its because they and their coach are not getting them in front of the coaches thry need to. Video is more popular than ever. It can even be practice. Just because you don't play ecnl or anything else is irrelevant. That just dumb. People always to blame something else or make excuses instead of doing the work.
This poster gets it. If a player gets missed it’s not on the college coach. It’s on the player, their club coach and DOC.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostMost of that is simply incorrect. Unless maybe you are only talking about Div 1. Which, very few on this board if any, need to worry about. There are plenty of coaches non-Div 1 that will still be looking, offering, getting aid for plenty of players. They in no way need to be early decision applicants.
D2 academics tend to be lower so as long as you haven't totally screwed around in high school most should get admitted. Lowe level D1s at this point may take a few but that means they see you more as a practice player, not one of their top recruits, and there will be no $. If you have really good grades you could get some decent merit$, or if your family qualifies for decent financial aid that helps too.

Same thing with ECNL. GA? It's brand new. Come back in a few years and tell me how it is. For now, it's ECNL.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI would rather buy my groceries from many different places. Most stores have curb side pick up. Order online and they will bring it out to the car. Sometime I prefer to go inside. I am a pretty decent couponer and, I save a good chunk of change. Most importantly I enjoy the time with my 13 year old. We get to talk and kinda hang out. She love help mom with grocery shopping.
