There are a lot of changes going on right now that will affect the class of 2025 as it pertains to athletics (google House Vs. NCAA). Although it applies to D1 schools, there is some expected trickle down effect for D3 and others. Essentially there will be mandated roster limits in the Power 4 programs and it will trickle down. So it is possible that college athletics will continue to get more and more competitive for roster spots, and some programs could also cut certain sports. My advice is to pick the school that you would be happiest at and would go to without your sport. If you still want to consider the athletics or keep the door open, you could always accept the spot up until it is time to formally commit (early decision etc). I think coaches really want to make sure you want to be at their program, if they sense some hesitation thet might not offer and go to the next recruit with demonstrated interest. Good luck!!
