BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Girls 2024-10th Grade Fall 2021/Summer 2022

Assuming your 24 daughter played a good fall schedule, you should already have a sense of which schools are at least (somewhat) interested. If your club recruiting director hasn't heard from at least a few of your targeted schools expressing interest., you are probably targeting schools at too high of a lacrosse level. This isn't to say that if a school hasn't reached out to your club yet, that they aren't interested, however, if no one is reaching out, take that as a sign.

Does your clubs recruiting director tell the girls who reached out to her? Or, does your daughter have to ask her?

we have regular check-ins where she shared who has reached out. This helps in updating target list, planning summer schedule in additional to finding certain things that should be highlighted as you cut up our fall film.

Does your clubs recruiting director tell the girls who reached out to her? Or, does your daughter have to ask her?

Our club always called us to discuss the conversations they had with college coaches. They also would forward us the emails. Many times the club coach was the liaison between us and the college coaches prior to Sept. 1. We were able to communicate our level of interest that way.

Our daughter and her coaches & recruiting director talk multiple times a week about recruiting.

I am completely curious as to how many teams have contacted your club about your daughter ?

Did anyone hear anything about IWLCA Experience before the Dallas President's Cup?

We’ve had 6 colleges reach out to the club and/or coach since presidents cup

We’ve had 5 schools my daughters target list and 2 not on the list reach out this fall. Actually most of these were from lax for the cure not champions cup.

Of those 5, 3 came back and watched live at IWLCA

What girls are going to best in class? Seems like some good players from other areas. Anyone doing under armour 150 ?

What club does your daughter play for? She must be a top recruit.

What club are you with ?

My daughter did it. I wasn't a fan. WAY too many girls there, she never got to play in front of the coaches whose schools she was interested in. You didn't miss anything except flying in a day early to spend some extra money on a camp. My 2 cents.

Reach out??… It’s Not D1 until 9/1
D2 and D3 can talk but they are talking their time with 2024
2023 is still the focus

I think the OP is saying the colleges reached out to the coaches or directors, obviously they can’t contact any 2024 directly. That’s what I got from reading the post.

What do you mean Reach out? Are you 2023?
So many opportunities to be seen -camps, clinics , tourneys. Thank you for sharing.

Seems like some fake news on the verge of a drop.
The most that’s happening with the D1 schools is that they are looking at your connectlax account. That is not considered reaching out or they wouldn’t do it.
You don’t need to be a superstar or have a self promoting superstar recruiting director to have that happen.

NCAA rules allow the coaches to express interest in a player to your club director, just not the “level of interest”. Further, college coaches are allowed to reach out to the player with a questionnaire. Having gone through this before, my daughter was informed of interest from her club director as well received questionnaire requests in a few ways (direct responses to emails she sent coaches, unsolicited emails and hand written letters via US mail as well). This all started during the fall tourneys and accelerated into mid/late December - post tourneys and during the winter camp and prospect clinics. Would slow down a bit during the NCAA season, then pick up after in the summer and leading up to Sep 1. Good luck to those new to the process!

Most of the top 30 programs have 6+ girls committed. Those top programs may have 1 or 2 spots for a 2023 or more likely a 5th year transfer. The top programs are where the girls looking to play an extra year are going. So this is prime time for them to look at 2024's at camps, showcase and tournaments. Most probably have begun to reach out, but understand they will cast a large net over the next 8 months. You never forget you first D1 contact, haha. So why should they wait to contact clubs about the top girls in the 2024 class that have caught their eye. Recruiting never ends and is stressful for both parties involved.

Thank you for posting this. Sometimes things that are posted on here don’t seem genuine or truthful. That makes me sad for those that are actually looking for advice.

Funny how the person still didn't answer the question about what club they are from.

What club does your daughter play fo?

They can’t answer because the complete grouping of posts were complete nonsense.

There is no reason for anyone to be to specific about them self because to many crazies would try to connect the dots to their kid. It's the anonymity that allows people to share good info and help paint an accurate picture of the lacrosse landscape. The catch 22 is the crazies also flourish with the anonymity, but there is more good than bad. Keep it up. I am a fan of more information, the trick is how you filter it.

Just as I thought. I saw the event listed but after we had already booked our arrangements-- thankfully. When we got back I wondered what become of it. Thanks for sharing your own experience.

More Nonsense

Exactly it was d1 coaches who saw her play and wanted her personally at camps or more info about her I guess. Older daughter has similar as a sophomore.

What exactly do you believe to be Nonsense?

Somebody is obviously trying to make themselves seem important. Obvious violation of NCAA rules.

Why would you say “Obvious violation of NCAA rules.”?

This is not a violation. My daughter just went through recruiting. Prior to Sept. 1, several coaches communicated with us through our club director. We knew exactly where we stood, and they knew where they stood as well. My daughter also recieved text messages from coaches asking for information. She could not have a back and forth dialog, but it is all completely within the NCAA regulations

D1 reaching out an expressing interest right now in 2024?
Filling out a questionnaire off the website or at an id clinic or getting a hit on connect lax doesn’t mean they are recruiting you.
D2 and D3 different story

Exactly! This is completely normal for strong players and clubs. I don’t blame the parent for not saying their name given there is someone very negative on here who doesn’t want anything about any others clubs known. If your kids team isn’t being helped with recruiting or getting coaches reaching out then put more focus on making your kids recruitable and less try to stir the pot when others are asking and answering questions.

My older daughter went through this process and is a 24 now and she also had coaches reaching out through coaches and the club and most certainly had coaches at games fall of sophomore year

Is your 24 a sophmore in HS?
The rules for lacrosse are the most strict now because 0f what went on a few years ago.
I’m sure the very top players on the top club on LI have a pretty good idea where they stand on Sept 1 but
Rules are specific in regards to contact with coaches and clubs.

Again, d1 is actively recruiting and expressing interests in 2024s. Just because you haven’t received interest Does not mean other kids haven’t

This is how it went down for my daughter who is a 23 and was heavily recruited on sept 1. I’m not bragging. I’m sharing info. She Emailed consistently anyone she was interested in beginning last fall. By mid June/July we knew where she stood with many on the list as they had direct contact with her club coaches many times throughout the summer season and august. They invite their highest interest to private camps all the way up till aug 30th. So. Come sept 1. She knew some who were calling and then also had some nice surprises

If you mean that coaches are watching and taking notes??
Of course. Sept 1 will come and the top 10 schools will have a solid idea of the recruits they want.
Plenty of time in between now and then for them to make up their minds. 2023 are still heavy
Most of the 2024 are active between now and next fall and that’s a big part of the process.
The rules are specific and strict. It’s not like it was several years ago. I can’t see a 2024 player receiving a text msg prior to Sept 1 and that not being a violation.

From the NCAA website- you may need a refresher on what’s allowed.

“ In 2017, the NCAA established new rules that aim to eliminate the trend of early recruiting. USA Lacrosse and the IWLCA/IMLCA proposed this change to the rules with hopes that it would reduce all forms of early lacrosse recruiting. Before September 1of an athlete’s junior year of high school, college coaches are only permitted to communicate with a recruit’s club or high school coach, though their conversation is restricted to simple Yes or No answers to the questions, and no verbal offers can be made or suggested.”

Complete violation. Stop lying now. Schools know this isn’t allowed and wouldn’t risk it.

The NCAA rules seem to have kept the skeptic quiet. Congrats to the girls already getting d1 looks you deserve it

From what i'm seeing on social media UNC camp was absolutely stacked..there are some top girls there i didn't know would attend. and Levy rolled out the red carpet by having the who's who of UNC alumns and national team members checking in too. looks like they all went to a bssketball game aswell? kinda an unfair advantage feels like a mini college visit as opposed to a normal boring run of the mill camp. recruiting violation? little nudge here and there perhaps?! but i mean..props to levy very smart on her part to make an impression on these girls
