I have also heard that the U18 players have committed to USC, UNCG, University of Richmond, Penn, but we'll know the entire list in a couple of weeks.
It says that article was posted 4/26/12. So that would have been in April of her U-17 year, is that correct? So, Wake Forest still had room in April for that class? Interesting.
Wake will have made its first round of offers in the Fall for that year based on the money the coach believes will be available. That doesn't mean you won't see commitments coming later nor does it mean a later offer is necessarily less. The coach's athletic scholarship budget is limited, but it can change unexpectedly during the course of a year. Schools that think they can attract top talent will make their offers to their top picks in the Fall based on what the coaches perceive their budgets to be at the time. They have to.
I'm thinking HH's point is that club teams considering themselves elite national level teams should be developing players capable of being included in those "first round" Fall offers.
