Quote: Since when, by the way, are Freshmen and Sophomores invited to college recruiting combines?
My understanding is a number of colleges have already completed their recruiting processes for verbal committments through the class of 2009. While the colleges are not currently allowed to actively recruit members of the classes of 2010 and 2011, the colleges are already evaluating and tracking members of those classes. One of the advantages of participation in ODP is the opportunity to play for and in front of college coaches from around the region. ODP members of the class of 2011 are beginning their third year of evaluations by college coaches.
It is my understanding that many, if not the majority, of players from the CESA U-15 Premier Girls team will be attending the combine. I would guess that a smaller percentage of U-17 and U-18 premier level players may be participating due to having already made verbal committments to colleges or taking the SAT that morning.
