D24 committed to one coach/one team/one school with pre-read & full coach support & AD support. She’s kept and filed all the applications to all the other schools in her list, and informed the coach of it, simply because she doesn’t have an acceptance letter in hand, and accidents have happened in the past to recruited athlete/applicants who failed to be admitted to many different schools. She doesn’t expect that to happen, her grades have not weakened, she’s not awaiting financial aid, but she just wants to diligently complete her application process and have safety/fallback options in case there is an “accident”.
Of course, kids can change their mind, but her process had been pretty consistent throughout, and she’s been clear with the coach throughout her journey.
