We’re seeing lots of 2026 “commitments” to Ivys, but thought the earliest that would happen would be January, when they have at least half of a junior year transcript and test scores to look at. What’s the deal?

It really depends on the sport. Women’s Lax commits notoriously early. The offer is made in good faith. If the student drops the ball the offer must be withdrawn. Also, this is a sport where a lot of the athletes come from well know prep schools and wealthy publics. Coaches and admissions are well familiar with the schools and generally know what they are dealing with.
