high school vs Club

Although my daughter really enjoys playing for her high school, she has elected to forego her senior season of high school soccer to focus on her club team. She realizes that the longer the high school season goes on, the more her skills deteriorate, which in turn has a negative effect on her club and will influence her college options. Her high school team will likely go through to the regionals, but her club team is a very good team which has brought her much attention from college coaches. I'm sure this was a tough choice for her, but I'm glad she made it.

If she was a high caliber player, she would already be committed by her senior year. The fact that she isn't says alot.

The post indicates future high school ops so she isn't a senior yet and as such can't have any offers. It would appear that you are not a high caliber reader or thinker.

you make no sense??

Try your high caliber reading again. It says she has made the decision (past tense), but doesn't say if it applies to this year or another.
Just so you know, Mr. Superiority, a player can commit any year they want as long as the school doesn't contact them with an offer, but the player does the contacting. They can talk about anything on campus. I know sophmores that have already commited and many, many juniors.

they can change their mind anytime! Many kids (top players) don't commit early because they can't make up their mind.

Did anyone say otherwise? They are all verbals until they sign their senior year. The schools can withdraw their offers also.
Most early commitments are from top players. The schools don't want to commit to the others until they know how good that recruiting class is going to be. Many commit early because they want schools to leave them alone.

There are also club coaches who bench players that choose to play in high school. You also don't see club coaches helping kids with classes, tutors, or sat scores for college.

My daughter's coach insists they bring schoolwork with them to tournaments and works in a "study hall" in between games. Sure beats having them running around the hotel.

Verbal commitments by either a school or player are meaningless. The player cannot sign a binding offer until after the last day of their junior year. I know players who are didn't formally accept offers until well into their senior year who were amoung the best in the area. In fact I can think of two who are former "players of the year" as selected by the local newspapers in their counties. This "she can't be any good if she hasn't already commited by her sophomore or junior year" mentality is patently wrong. There are people who weigh all of their options before making life decisions, and then again there are people who take the first offer that comes along.

The post you are replying to never said one way or the other whether or not that was important. It just addresses the two errors in the previous post. AND, the poster before that obviously meant verbal commitments since he was talking about before senior year. BTW, I know county players of the year that couldn't even make the 1st team of a good county. So, not a very good point. I happen to agree that great players don't always commit before they're seniors, especially if they're interested in IVY leagues.
