Just talked to NCAA have a question

Are you talking about registering with the NCAA Clearinghouse?

Yes.

Sue - I could be wrong but our daughter is a senior graduating this year (tonight actually) and is an athlete as well. But if I remember correctly, you have to wait until their "senior year" which is essentially any time after their junior year concludes. Once their junior transcript is completed (grades issued), you can register. So I think you're correct unless they have changed something since last June or whenever it was when my daughter did it on-line. My guess is that your mistake was referring to your son as a "Junior". I got the same kind of response when I called to get the NCAA Guidelines book.

You dont need to register to talk to coaches. There is no rush to register as a junior. They will be spending the entire summer processing senior's before even starting for 2007 graduates.

I registered my son Sunday night online. The school counselor said his transcript would be sent next week after grades are posted and the new transcripts are ready.

Sue, like you I kept reading last summer on the HSBBW and received conflicting info from lots of different people. Most important info seemed to be that you could register anytime you want, but until their Junior year is complete and transcript received, the Clearinghouse will not start processing the file.

It does not hurt to get the paperwork started and you get a pin number for the website

Thank you. We will get it done this next week then. I think it will be better to get it started before his Summer Season starts and we can't catch our breath. LOL.
