Forgive the very open-ended question.... I realize that there is probably a huge range of answers to this question. So, let me attempt to be more specific to what prompted this post. DD is a Jr. and has been actively engaged in the recruiting process (contacting coaches from schools of interest, filling out recruit info, skills video, playing in high-exposure tourneys, maintains great grades, NCAA registered, contacting coaches again and again, etc). She has finally been seeing some gains from her activities in that 3 of the 4 schools (all DII) she is most interested in attending, have sent her invitations to recruit camps. She just finished one, is headed off to another next week, and the 3rd is next month. I realize there is a $-generating purpose for these camps, so what I really want to know is how likely is it that the coaches are really looking at 2012s for a DII program?
DD emailed the coach from the already completed camp to thank her, let the coach know she is still interested in attending that school and playing softball. So now we wait, email HS stats when that season is over, and just .... wait? Should we be bolder come summer and outright ask about playing for that school?
Do coaches make offers at these camps? Just after these camps? I know every school is unique, but do these things potentially happen?
Thanks.... even though we feel that DD (and her parents!) are doing a lot, it does get frustrating!
