Originally posted by Unregistered View PostMany are told they're a "top recruit." Coaches are part used car salesmen. Proof is when the offer comes. If you're in the 50%+range they want you. Under 20% not so much. Keep in mind offers can get combined to a certain extent with merit and financial aid. So if your player is an above average student the total package could be very good, just not all athletic $.

So if a coach is talking about an official visit, is that a good sign that an offer could be coming? The school has to pay for those visits so they won't do that if there is no interest right?

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThe scholarship offer is one year only. There are no four-year full-ride scholarships in soccer.
Plus the Power five conferences can do 4 year scholarships in soccer.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostMy D reached out to some D1 coaches and while they said she did well at some ID clinics and showcases, they were not scrambling to fill out the 2021 class. They will watch and see how things progress. Not sure how to take that. Maybe college coaches will be more deliberate going forward... or they are just not interested in my D. I can’t tell as this is our first time through the process.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostNot the poster and while it wasn't relevant it is important to consider. Athletic money is not guaranteed (except Power 5). If you have a good offer then the coach probably wants you and if you perform you should be ok. But stuff happens like injuries, no PT or just burnout. Families should have a back up plan should something happen.

Money only gets cut when the player fails to live up to expectations. That's all on the family and how well they target. When you reach for a program or otherwise allow your kid to go into a situation where they are a low priority prospect, things like this happen. If you are smart and steer your kid to a place where they are wanted and have a very strong likelihood of making an impact they don't. Even in the case of injury, coaches won't cut the money and allow the player to come back as long as they were meeting expectations prior to it. The reality is 40-50 points in the rankings usually makes a world of difference.
