I have a 2 part question.
Assuming that a kid writes to say 50 D3 college coaches, what can the kid expect for a response rate? Also, how quickly do coaches normally respond in general? What has your experience been like - ie, how many coaches responded to your dd? Also, have any of the responses panned out? Meaning, did your dd eventually go play at one of these schools that she had initially written to?
I've also read that there are various degrees of interest from the coaches. Let's go with the assumption that none of the said coaches have seen dd play, but have received her video. I understand that receiving a generic email asking the kid to complete a softball recruit questionnaire usually means that the kid is essentially "on the radar". I also understand that getting a coach's personal cellphone number means more than receiving a generic email. What about a follow-up email asking about attendance at a camp? I realize that receiving emails from coaches does NOT mean that the kid is being recruited. Since we're so new to the process, I would love to be schooled on the fine nuances of recruiting and signs of greater interest versus lower interest. Thoughts anyone?
Thanks.
