Our DD (2017 graduate) is late on the recruiting trail due to an injury she had her junior year. She has had a lot of success and accolades at the high school and TB level. She has been offered a spot at a D1 Juco close to home. She has also been offered a full ride at a D1 Juco about 6 hours from home.
At the local Juco she will start as a freshman and get loads of playing time and experience, but may or may not get recruited to play as a transfer. The Juco 6 hours away is a powerhouse program that regularly makes national tournament appearances and sends a lot of girls on to play at the D1 and D2 level. However, they will carry more girls and the time and frequency of playing time is a complete unknown. (And again, if she doesn't play much it will make a transfer difficult.)
What would you advise your DD in this situation? I want to say "close to home" but that may just be my heart talking.
