ED2: D3 recruiting

Just wanted to add for future families who might look at this post — my kid was also asked to commit ED to play D3. She negotiated to apply RD instead, assuring the coach that she didn’t intend to play anywhere else, but needed to look at financial offers from D1 schools to satisfy her parents. The coach was nice about it and accommodated us.

I am sure the coaches don’t like it and not everyone would support an RD application, but I can attest that it is possible for those who are uncomfortable with a binding commitment that early for whatever reason (including possible coaching changes).
