its a job. anyone who thinks otherwise is kidding themselves and its tough to keep up becasue they are not going to make many concessions for you. manage your time etc, but they EXPECT you to perform on the soccer pitch.

Im a pretty basic guy. Kids tend to take the best option available to them. The more talented you re, the more options. A big recruiting class normally is indicative of a coaching change or poor planning. Either way, a top prospect talking to other schools will be told this by other schools.
For example, during recruiting my daughter was specifically told by 2 AC schools to be sure to clarify the status of the coach if she planned on visiting a certain well known school. She was not interested in the school, but my point is coaching changes are usually pretty well signaled in advance

Once you pull yourself out, and label as committed, going back into the pool can be really tough, especially with programs that recruit early. There is zero money / spots left by end of Soph year.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostIt's a huge risk with committing early - coach quits or gets fired before you set foot on campus or shortly after. So you take a chance with the new guy, who many times will clean house and put in his own picks, or try and find something elsewhere. Depending on timing you may be SOL, or have to take a step backwards in terms of the program or the school. Sometimes you can snag more money later on if you prove yourself but there's no guarantees.
if you are a talented player, you can work around this pretty easily.

Originally posted by Unregistered View Postits not a huge risk if you are smart about it and really good. when you commit early, you keep all your options open by being polite and respectful to all your other options/suitors. Verbal commits are not binding and should not stop you from continuing to do your due diligence. Too many kids rush out to post the good news and buy all the gear.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostPlease. When a coach quits or gets fired when you are entering your senior year of HS, there is zero money still out there. Sure you can walk on somewhere, but it's not as easy for commoners as it is for you. Not everyone has deep pockets and the scholarship matters to them. I'm sure many will take the redshirt, get some college credits and transfer next winter.
I get it, its is not something that happens for most players. but I never said it did

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI said, if you are really talented its not an issue and I stand by that 100 pct. Has nothing to do with deep pockets and everything to do with how good the player is. If a top player shakes loose for some reason, the best scholls will find a way to make it happen.
