Last year at this time contact was allowed, so conversations started early. We didn't know her ceiling and she kept options open. Engagement climbed the ladder with the calendar. After January tourneys MAAC / America East tried to jump line with statements like we are ready to offer if you are ready to commit. As the spring progressed the higher level programs became more active as they saw more play in league games, and spring tourneys. As better test scores landed the PL and Ivy coach interest became real. She had maintained contact with all of them through April, so when Jun 15 arrived they were all checking to see where they stood.
I know these are good problems to have, and I recognize this could be perceived as a brag, but I don't mean it that way. It just reinforces that need to know your desired level and explore what FIT means before rushing to engage with coaches. The "fun" of being recruited quickly turns into confusion, distraction, and stress that 16 year-old girls aren't typically ready to experience.
