Seems like a very unusual year

I don’t know how 22s commit at this standpoint. 22s have no reference point, no camps (in the past year), no prospect days, no unofficials. 21s have no official visits but are going to sign NLIs in about 6 weeks. The new standard is an all day zoom official visit in the next few week both for D1s and NESCAC. But sign here and don’t worry and/or apply ED for the NESCACs. At least with the IVYs/NESCACs you know where you stand financially prior to Nov.

21s in non-revenue sports are now anticipating a call in Nov that their initial finicial aid offer has been reduced to to Covid/budget cuts/5th year issues. 5th year seniors/transfers are going to impact all non-revenue sports for the next 3 years. 22s haven’t seen practices nor do understand team dynamics, playing time, etc.

Coaches don’t want to make the offers based on film and play from when they were freshman but are going to make the offers to keep G8 pipeline open and keep up with the Joneses…

I know the pressure is there, I have D21 lax/bball. She switched from D1 to NESCAC during the process based upon watching practices, fall games, unofficial visits and attending clases…

I don’t know what to tell 22s. I know a bunch are already committing. I know some that committed, decommitted, and committed again within a couple of weeks.

We live in a strange world during a strange time.

Bird in hand vs contiuing to look…
