Not for high profile competitive sports like volleybal, basketball, and football. Colleges have been known to start asking for verbals before kids even enter high school. High level athletes usually give their verbals from november to april of their junior year. Rachel Williams, Charlotte Brown, and Hayley Spellman did this for Stanford. The junior verbal is a common practice for highly recruitable athletes. Other schools do this as well (Jordan Hasay committed to Oregon State her junior year, Teresa Skelly - Harvard, Tori Anthony- UCLA).
