Totally agree about the hypocrisy. I don't get to talk to coaches very much but I wonder if they actually feel pressure to early recruit or is it just a way to save face. One young lady that I know who is a 2022 pitcher, that has verbal-ed with one of the coaches in the video, told my DD that when she was offered a scholarship to not go public with it until they tell her she can. The reason being they had to cut another young lady loose that they had offered a scholarship to prior to her. A couple of months after she accepted the verbal, she announced it through social media.
I thought that the video stating that 1 in 4 athletes offers change by the time they reach college is ridiculous. I would really like to know the ages of the players when they verbal-ed, that had the agreement change on them and the reasons behind it.
I spoke with a PAC-12 coach at the D9 this fall. She was watching a game prior to ours and as it wrapped up I introduced my self and gave her our flyer. As we talked for a few minutes and I asked her where she was on our class she said its all about P, C, and SS. She told me she and most coaches she knew hated having to go after girls but if you don't you can't keep up. She said at least the players in those positions are easier to project.
