Of course, but not on NLI day, that doesn’t exist for D3 athletes. Somehow it’s become that way, “look at my kid, look at me, we’re signing our NLI to swim at Goucher College”.

The kid at Goucher will also likely not ride the pine nearly as much as 2/3 of the super special soccer player cones at the D1 level (yep ... 2/3 of the players are practice player cones!!!). If you want to gloat about what a stud your kid is, tell us about the extraordinary soccer school that they went to and please tell us about their experiences with the national team .... how many gold medals have they won in the olympics, world cups .... stop the ******* contest ..... 3/4 of D1 programs (if not far more) are absolutely horrific soccer (despite all of the internationals). Great, your kid is fast and tall and cant trap or receive a ball let alone stay in a series of 1-2s. Does your kid know what an overlap is .... sorry, no matter the level of play, lots of stupid players out there.

Smacks of Oakwood arrogance as well.
2% of players go onto D1 at any level. That means for the most part the other 98% weren't in the discussion. NLI "Early Signing Day" is intended to recognize athletes that were recruited early and received financial consideration. It's D1 and D2 only. No one else is signing anything.
This is typical behavior from the trophy generation parents.

It's like celebrating your birthday when it's not actually your birthday.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostHave an NLI day for those getting $. Have another in the spring acknowledging all the club or school athletes going on to play in college with no "signings." Almost no one knows the difference but it will keep the whiners quiet.
