    Are you unfamiliar with the way the internet works?

      Agreed. My '21 has been doing virtual tours and visits. I have two older kids in college and the onsite visits are an enormous part of the process. Everything has been taken away from this recruiting class. We try not to stress about it. Everyone is in the same situation and there are far worse things going on in the world.

        My non athlete 21 will apply early to a bunch of places then we will visit after they get accepted. It is what it is.

          You can apply early as part of a rolling admissions process, but the most desirable schools only do ED, and you can only apply ED to one

            Yes I'm aware. Early Action also demonstrates interest. Glad my final athlete has some time for things to normalize. I really feel for athletes right now. It's a stressful process as it is.

              Very stressful. Going through it now. One coach said that he has put in way fewer prereads than he normally does.

              Question: what are they waiting for? Opportunities to see kids play seem to be diminishing. Will they hope more players somehow come into their pool, and are waiting to do prereads in September/October?

              (This is with a '21 boy)

                I think some programs still hope they can have one ID event before ED and EA applications are due. Some are hoping maybe a few walk on later. This year's class is a mess unless it was wrapped up before March. Girls were in better shape than boys.

                  LOL, we work 24/7/365 as college coaches. My email is attached to my hand, and my office voice mail. Being in the office has zero impact on our recruiting contact.

                    If the poster's kid isn't getting responses there's a reason - and it isn't accessibility

                      Says the anonymous poster. Tell that to the coaches who were put on administrative leave by their schools.

                        I don't know a single colleague who has been put on administrative leave in any sport...I recall reading one school did furlough coaches 90 days or something similar, but fortunately most of us are still working! That's not to say things won't change drastically, especially if Fall sports are cancelled. Then you can expect that will change.

                          There have been over 100 college athletic teams cut, including 2 mens soccer teams. But yes, if you're working you're always recruiting
