There is no single "one size fits all" approach to most things in life. If a person selects a college that winds up being less than optimal, five years after graduation it isn't going to matter all that much; the most important outcome is to get a degree.

    For certain players -- goalies in particular -- waiting can be a disadvantage. If a goaltender wants to attend a particular school, as soon as another goalie from her class commits there, it is unlikely that there will be any more scholarship money available. She is the one who has to spend four years of her life there, so if she thinks that is what she wants, IMO it is narrow-minded to say that her commitment is a sign of ego on the part of anyone in her family.
    That's the 2nd best post ever!!!

      As for homework, I guess we just have a different grading system.
      There were 2 players referenced in this chain. One did A LOT of homework by anyone's grading system; visited schools, consulted with coaches and others. She was offered by many top schools and chose the one she wanted - after still visiting other schools.

      The other girl has grown up wanting to goto Wisconsin her entire life. Grew up going to their games. She had other offers too. But if that's where she wants to to and they offered her a scholarship, what's going to change if she waits a year. And, again most of the top players in her birth year have committed or are well down that process of doing so.

      I agree with you all that it is getting too young. But I don't disparage the players for committing once they've been offered at a place they really want.

        Who was disparaging anyone? I admitted that my daughter would have done the same thing if given the offer from UW as a Freshman??

          You didn't but there are at least 2 posters who implied these decisions were "stupid". That's pretty disparaging.

            What if a new coach comes to the school before this commitment graduates high school? Either one could change their mind, so why bother with such an early commitment. Call me crazy, but I think it would put pressure on a lot of other highly recruitable players if these kids start committing so early.

                Pretty sure it's spring of '17 for HS graduation...to begin their college experience in the fall of '17.

                    Alex Gulstene was at USA Hockey's U15 National Camp this summer. Not sure how dual citizenship fits into your categories.
