^^I am agreeing with riverrunner that I love your user name - great place!

Secondly, fishymom’s advice is very good, and I am in complete agreement with her. At this point, you are right not to drop contact, and also make sure that everyone has your transcripts, and be sure to have registered with the NCAA. As fishymom says, there isn’t much a coach can do without those school/score papers in hand.

Also, the D1 coaches should be starting to imply that they are going to offer you Official Visits, by this time, I should imagine. They are in the thick of organizing the rosters for those weekends. Those visits will generally start in the very near future. If I were you, I would definitely be direct and ask them if they see you as potential recruit. I imagine the ones you are regular contact do indeed see you that way, otherwise they wouldn’t be wasting their time with frequent emails. I imagine you already have an idea as to whether your erg score is competitive with their programs, along with whether or not you are basically a “fit” as a student. As the shuffle of who goes on what visit continues, who cancels their visit, and so on, your place in the coaches minds at this point may be ever changing. It is absolutely your right to ask where you stand at this time, etc.

There are a lot of great women’s crew programs out there, both D1 and DIII. My daughter is also in the middle of this whirl! Good luck with this!
