My 2021 has this current situation: she has the following four schools on her radar. She’s a catcher/1B/3B. 5’8” 170 lbs. usually a power hitter but she’s working through some kinks right now. Is she behind, or probably right where she should be right now? I was hoping she would be committed by the end of junior year. Now I feel like it might be more this summer.
School 1, D3: probably her top school choice right now. They seem interested but they also seem to still be involved with recruiting 2020’s. This past Fall they were anyway. So it’s hard to tell. She has attended several camps and this past Fall the HC told her he will see her more in 2020. The assistant coach also told me once that she should expect to be heavily recruited in the summer after her junior year. He was talking in general not just his school.
D3 school 2: ok this coach has been talking to her pretty regularly over email. He came out to see her twice. Once last summer with her 16u B team. Then once this past Fall with her 18u Gold team. Both times she’s was struggling at the plate. We saw him recently at a open house at the university. I
He seemed happy to see her. I think he likes her. He told her to work on her hitting over the winter. She already was going to do that anyway. He said he will watch her again next summer. Send him her schedule. He also told her she can come watch his team practice in the Spring. I think he’s interested? She really likes this school too.
D3 school 3: she just discovered this school literally like a month ago. She was searching schools for her major. It’s 2 hours away. She emailed the coach and pretty much told him she just discovered the school. She also said she is really interested in attending and playing there. . He said he’s always looking for good softball players and invited her up for a visit. We will visit in the Spring. Just an open house not an official visit. I’m hoping it’s not too late and he can watch her play in the Spring/Summer.
Ok the last school is a D1, and the coaches met my DD at a clinic attached to a showcase last summer. They seemed interested but as you know they couldn’t officially talk. She did hit well that weekend. They may have seen her play at that showcase but I’m not sure because that was before they were allowed to talk to her. After Sept 1, they sent her a personal email (not like a cattle call) and invited her up in to a prospect camp in January. They also said they are limiting it to 50 kids. 8th thru 12th grade. She got an invite from the HC and another email from the AC. We are planning on going but I wonder if it’s real interest. It’s going to cost some money for the two day clinic plus travel and hotel. I wish we knew.
Any thoughts on any of this?
