With you 100% on this. My kid only had one school that actually told her thanks but no thanks. The rest just ghosted her and expected her to read between the lines. The one that told her no sent her probably a thousand word email that explained why (and also said lots of positives). It was hard to receive in the moment, but in the end it was very much appreciated, for a number of reasons, not the least of which is simply knowing where she stood with certainty.I think the thing that was the most frustrating for me was the lack of responsiveness by some coaches. In our case, I know most of these coaches were not batting away hundreds of potential recruits given the type of schools they were and where you would show up to camps and only see 20 girls. Anyway, over time, you've invested time sending emails, going to camps, seeking feedback, etc. and some coaches wouldn't even bother to send a response. Or, as we got much later into the process, you might have to send one or two emails to even try to prompt a response. Fully understood that not every coach or program was going to be interested in my DD, but I thought common courtesy might have led them to say, essentially, thanks but no thanks. Obviously, you had no choice but to interpret the silence as a lack of interest, but I still thought it was rude after you'd been engaging for some time. Recruits are rightly told to be respectful, timely, clear and so on in their communications with coaches. Thought we could expect the same in return, but too often was not the case.
