A friend’s daughter (junior) is getting lots of emails and calls from coaches, including her first choice leagues: Ivy and NESCAC. She is the right height and skill level to play Ivy/lower DI or top DIII. Academically makes the grade.

She’d really rather not make visits this spring due to competition and school schedule, and the high cost of travel for unofficials (we live in the west-travel is expensive and complicated). If she waits to visit during the official visit window in the fall, will all these slots be taken? If these rosters will definitely fill this spring, she’s willing to do some spring travel.

On the other hand, if Ivy rosters wait until Sept/Oct for visits and then issue LLs for ED/EA applications, she’d much rather wait for that.

Assuming Ivy rosters fill by the end of October or earlier, when do NESCAC rosters finalize? Do those coaches use slots during EA/ED, or more likely support their recruits in RD?

Thanks, brilliant and helpful ccers.
