Amy - we were dissapointed at first, don't get me wrong. But we walked away saying better to find out now, than after you're here and they're telling you to change your major.
Sluggers - great points. And I'm sure you're right - if a top player drops into their lap, they'll make room for her.
Softsocdad - they probably all don't. I can tell you, though, of D-3 school that is in NY that has seen my DD play in Colorado and FL. A couple of others have travelled that far to see her as well. Her future coach is going to FL and Houston in Oct for exposure tourneys. A couple of other D3 schools have expressed interest, and have invited her to a Fall tryout, because they can't travel. I suppose it must be a very college-specific thing as to how much they travel and recruit.
Anyways - no matter the division or college, I tell my players this - it's an emotional roller coaster ride, so strap in, keep your chin up, and enjoy it for the thrill it is. If you get too high or low along the way, you miss the thrill of the journey.
