<p>mayhew: Yes, it is critical to start the process early. It is a process, so if coaches are interested academic information will transpire as it becomes available. My son is a Senior and he went through the exact same situation. The key is to keep the line of communication open with all coaches and make sure they know your D is interested in thier program. The process is pretty fluid with new opportunities created by participating in recruiting events through-out the summer between her Junior and Senior year (if she plays a team sport.).</p>
