College recruiting, across the board in all sports is in need of redefining the rules. Colleges coaches should not be pursuing early teens. How can the kid know what he wants at fourteen years old? The coach can't guarantee he will still be coaching there.
This whole thing pissed me off when my daughter went through early recruiting. Recruiting fourteen year old softball players is not new. Girls physically mature sooner. It's not uncommon for a fourteen year old to be playing 18u Gold travel. My daughter was a late recruit. She didn't play 18uG until post freshman year and receive offers until that summer. Fortunately she knew what she wanted from college as a high school freshman.
Coaches should have to stay away completely until the summer after soph year of high school. Players should be allowed to sign NLI's in the fall of junior year.
