Reply to "Offer experiences"

Daughter received softball offer late summer of post freshman year. It’s how D1 female sports work. The top, elite girls receive offers in 8th grade. The offer was on a visit in August. She had until April of soph year guaranteed the offer would still be on the table. She accepted in April. It’s hard to accept early. But girls don’t have a choice. The school was one of the best in her major.

Son’s circumstance was unique coming off an injury. It was all done on the phone three ways with his travel coach, college coach and he the summer after senior year. Had he not got injured he expected an offer from this school and others in June post junior summer. He was expecting to showcase post injury and rehab the fall after senior year. He left for school three days later after the phone calls. The offer was to walk on the first year and guaranteed money the second year. He lost the walk on spot to a late bloomer pitcher still in the majors. Five to play four allowed him to get two degrees.
