k70,

Here's my brief experience with the college recruiting process for girls. I got it straight from the State DOC of a very competitive R3 state. The guy has been around the game for 30+ years.

If your daughter is really good, and wants to earn a college scholarship to a major out-of-state university, have her tryout for the state ODP team and make sure she works her butt off to get heldover. If your daughter is heldover, and she eventually makes the region team, she is one of the 20 best players her age in the southeastern US. All 20 of these girls are basically looking at full rides.

No HS phenom, no R3PL play, no Raleigh, WAGS, Jeff Cup, PDA or Disney. Plain and simple, this is the "easiest path" (and by no means is it easy).


Kids play sports because they find it fun. Eliminate the fun and soon you eliminate the kid.
