Kid needs to put more muscle on. Not the strongest or most aggressive kid. I had him pegged for a D-2 school. Probably wont get off the bench at BC.

What are you even talking about? A commitment at this point is all verbal, neither side is obligated to keep the agreement. Technically a player can still shop for other options after committing, although few do because it will piss coaches off. Given most rosters will be smaller for awhile (due to players who deferred this year) committing now is not only a good idea, but it's a normal timelines for most top half soccer programs and players. The rest fill in later in the spring and summer, stragglers in the fall.

Yes a coach can walk away as well but many do not. There's no legal obligation until you sign your NLI November senior year. Players should never burn bridges just in case something goes wrong. But if a school gives you a solid offer and you want that school, go right ahead.

Yes just a verbal commitment at this time

Coaches will usually give you a little time to consider an offer but won't wait long. Make sure to ask what their time frame is and don't abuse it.
If you take a differentoffer make sure to notifythe others immediately. Don't ghost anyone or burn bridges - things can happen and you might need that coach again in a year .

And yet he’s the first 22 player in MA to commit. D2? That’s cute. He’s headed to an ACC school. That’s why people like you should keep your opinions to yourself and leave the actual recruiting to coaches.

Agree with most of this. However I'm not sure if all rosters will be smaller because of Covid. Most fall seasons have been pushed to spring. Patriot League is playing 6 games...this will remove the 5th year of eligibility for the seniors.

The recruiting class for 2022 will be competitive due to the kids that are doing a PG year or went to a school they didn't want to go to due to Covid and they will transfer after their first year.

Spring ie exempt, it doesn't count against eligibility.

Except he is a LOT better than your kid. Everybody knows that mr ‘pegged’.

More 22 players announcing soon.

A growing list of 2022 players has to be tough for the 2021 players yet to commit because of covid. They got blindsided by a perfect storm in 2020.

Your spring season was just rendered obsolete. The dead period was extended to May 31st.
