2013 girls commits

[OrSoccerMom]

What a relief!!

My daughter, who is going to a mid-level D1 school, was glad to make a decision and relieved that the process was over. Could she have gone somewhere else? Probably, but she was happy with the school and the coach and I was very happy with the offer.

FYI-graduates in 2012 and committed this June. I'll admit to feeling some pressure (for her) on making a decision soon and I believe she did too-especially when her teammates begin committing to schools

I bet you are so proud of your daughter and good luck to her!! I personally feel like it is sort of a maze out there where college is concerned. I have my middle child graduating this coming year and we are still not committed (fortunately we are not looking at athletic scholarships.. purely academic).

Congrats to you and your daughter!!

1. For those of you that can't understand the basics, let me point out that this thread is about players from Oregon, class of 2013.
2. Let me list the colleges you mention and the number of class of 2013 players with verbals and the number of these from Oregon that I found published, not rumors or wishful thinking -
ASU, no 2013; Gonzage no 2013; ND, 2 from 2013, none from OR; UO, 2 from OR;
UP, 2 from 2013, none OR, and none from Oregon for Stanford, UCLA, or UNC.
3. The one recruit from OR going to UP, great program - by the way, who is she?
4. The two girls going to UO, let's look at the 2010 record: 3-5-1 in Pac-10 (8th I think), with overall of 7-10-3, good for NCAA RPI ranking of 89th. Pretty dreadful.
5. Gonzaga, 2010 record of 8-11-1, NCAA RPI ranking of 123rd. Even worse.
6. ASU, please give us the name, 9-8-3 record in 2010, NCAA RPI of 31, pretty good.
7. UO, Gonzaga, or ASU are not known for their high educational achievements, unless the student is in one their honors colleges.
8. Yes, UNC, Stanford, ND, get National Team players, but we have none from Oregon. If you actually know about Oregon players, you would know that few have verballed already for the class of 2013.

This is me laughing AT you....BHA HAAHH HHAAAA!!!!

Records or no U of O is a great school that attracts great athletes. The Jaqua Center is amazing and the facilities are second to none. Yeah, No one wants to go there....

I hope more posters take note of the above post. You see, no where in there did the poster comment about how great the soccer program is. Instead, the comments were about happiness. To me, that is what is really important. Academics are also important to me and they are not mentioned, but I am going to assume that they factored into the happiness of the player and parent. To the poster who posted RPI's, records and other such none sense, please take note.

Hmmm...

I have two daughters that play soccer for D-1 schools on the west coast, a Pac-12 older one and a freshman this Fall for a WCC school. It is odd how many posters jumped on an earlier poster that tried to give his/her understanding of the facts about some schools. If you don't like these facts, come up with your own actual facts, not myths and rumors. As far as I can see, the facts presented were entirely correct. Somebody quite incorrectly stated that you verbal to more than one school. Another pointed out the great facilities at UofO, quite right. But that doesn't erase the women's soccer programs record. Others have inferred wrong information about the hot time for women's recruits and verbals. Maybe some of you need to know more about the process to you can remark from experience and not guide your players incorrectly. By the way, after helping several families through the financial end of the process the last three years in my day job, all of you should perhaps read posts with less criticism.

My daughter's team (2012) has 6 verbals (5 D1 and 1 D3). Lots of recruiting still going on from D2, D3, NAIA, and CC schools. All of us are juggling complex academic, soccer, financial aid, and personal finance issues. Guessing 10+ will girls play college somewhere. We're happy for all of them, including those who play club, intramural, or adult league soccer next. Great bunch of girls and parents who are grateful for 8+ years of excellent club soccer together.

So, academics don't matter, only how good the soccer team is? Nice advice there. Not sure your "help" is all that great for those families you are assisting.

How many of the Onyx players have verbally committed?

Seriously ?

Isn't this a U13 team ?

Hey, try to be intelligent; stretch yourself. The topic was soccer players, not how to select a college. Absolutely everyone that posts here knows that academics come first in college selection, athletics second. This is a given for everyone but you, apparently. After a player and parents make a list of colleges meeting the academic needs and hopefully most of the wants a student has, then one looks to the soccer side of things. Most lists contain three sections. First, love to go, but it's going to be difficult to be accepted. Second list of schools, reasonably sure I can be accepted. Last, a list of good schools with good fit that I'm positive will accept me. Now, cross-reference the soccer programs. Never do this in reverse. Selecting the soccer teams your are interested in first allows a player to overlook the possible mis-match in academic needs. That's why you see a surprising amount of transfers after the freshman and even sophomore years.

Now, wasn't that easy?

P.S.: If you had read my post with normal comprehension skills, you'll realize I was only advising about financial matters. The student and parents already had picked the colleges and soccer programs. They had actual offers to consider. Offers are usually open for a very short period of time, one to three weeks.

You're the dufus who was defending the guy who listed RPI, won loss and other factors. Neither he nor YOU talked about academics. Reading comprehension? You expect us all to be mind readers? Your poor kids. I feel for them. And don't patronize us all with how to select schools. It's as if you are telling us you are the best parent in the world and made no mistakes with your kids. Financial advice? Wow, those poor parents. I feel for them just as much.
