Thanks, so much. All of our girls have signed or committed this year, but I'm trying to keep mental notes for the younger girls to give my 2 cents when they reach that time. It's always interesting to hear the offers and the process, as they've been so different with each division and position played.

At least now you can sit back and relax..........some.

GoingDeep,

It looks like you took a different approach from Crankermo. I had a nice private message conversation with Crankermo, and he had a group of girls he helped coach up to 16U, and then took his daughter to a pre-established top level team with a well-connected coach to reach his goal. Tough decision, paid off big-time.

GoingDeep, as I follow your path, you've taken your team and tried to "raise them up together" to that next level, and with great success as well.

I think a lot of us parents/coaches reach that same fork in the road. I'd love to hear how you made your decision Going Deep and how you feel it worked out.

I want to be clear: not looking to say or hear either approach is right or wrong, you guys and your DDs are both seeing great success. Just want to understand how you made your decisions and pros and cons of both.

TKS.

In your face
Rich, I'll copy your post ( so don't delete it ) and answer it in another thread. I don't want to take away from this thread, this one is about Brooke and her exciting voyage.

Maybe her father can also elaborate ( others welcome ) on the road(s) chosen.

Mizzou gets all their players from Iowa! Haha.

And Iowa gets theirs from Missouri?! LOL

Congratulations to Brooke and your whole family, crankermo! That is wonderful. I'm so happy for all the girls (and their parents) who've reached this milestone.

Congrats to you and especially to your daughter! Iowa City is only 1 hour away for me so will have to make the trip up there to see your daughter play in a few years. My DD is also a sophomore in HS.
