Soccer ID Camps - Sophomore

Sounds like you have done this in vague terms, but get projections from coaches and others familiar with his play where they think he will go. If they are good at scouting future talent (not all are) that will be extremely helpful.

Different sport, but I had club and HS coaches (both with extensive college coaching experience) telling me S was a potential high D1 recruit early in HS, even though he was borderline top 5 on a team that hadn’t had a D1 recruit in 20 years. After soph year, his HS coach told me he needed to contact a particular top 10 D1 program, because he was a good fit there (HS coach has zero connections to that program or its coaches). I thought the coach was crazy to think they would even bother to reply but we sent them video and an email.

S is a frosh at the top 10 D1 program now.

I will say that by the end of his junior year it was obvious he was a high D1 recruit. But I don’t think most people would have seen that a year or 2 earlier. I know I didn’t. I figured he was high D3 recruit or maybe a practice partner at a crappy D1 program. Getting an evaluation from a coach who knows the player and is familiar with the sport on a college level is invaluable.
