I agree w/ you, that they should at least respond. I realize I'm not a college coach, and I know they get literally hundreds of emails per week, even daily at some places, and can't answer them all. Maybe they haven't even gone through all their emails yet. But if you personally ask a kid to come to your camp (not talking mass emails, but a specific request to come), I think you should follow up when asked. It takes some courage for young kids to come up and talk with coaches after camps, or to call them, and sometimes coaches don't have the same courage to talk to kids.
I was talking w/ a father last weekend whose daughter recently verballed to an ACC school. She's a pitcher. Her dream school was in the SEC. The SEC school was contacting her almost daily for weeks and suddenly stopped communicating. They suddenly wouldn't answer texts. The father was somewhat forgiving, saying, 'Great coach, but no people skills.' Fact that she found another top school made things all right, but when I hear these stories, I'm amazed.
That said, this coach might eventually respond. As Maxx said, give it a little more time. Coaches are inundated w/ emails.
Thank you. We will see!! I would love even if she wrote back and said not interested and here's why!!! I know they get a lot of emails but this isn't the highest level school (softball wise). It was more of a great fit academically and the location. The new HC comes from a higher division school so that's why we went there. We know the program is on a verge of a turn around. Oh well. Moving on lol
