So if I have this figured right these girls just finished their freshman year of high school and they are committing to a college already. They haven't even started to drive yet!

That is correct! Schools are pushing the girls to commit earlier and earlier. Its a race to the bottom.

A commit is not a NLI or a guarantee.

A commit is not a NLI or a guarantee.

But if the women start stockpiling commitments like the men, it makes a mess of the whole recruiting process.

Thats what she lists.

True. I think we are all aware of that. Its a verbal until the NLI is signed.

Yes on Wethington.

BC got Caroline Difiore (F) and Jillian Fey (D) from the Boston Jr. Eagles.

It seems to me that the move to earlier commitments could have the unexpected result of bringing more parity to women's hockey, since inevitably some of the 14 year olds who commit to the top programs will not turn out the be the top 18 year olds.

I think this is unlikely as the top schools will decommit to 14 year old players who don't continue to perform at the top of the market when they are 16 and 17 year olds. Happens all the time on the boys side. Heck, it happens now on the girls side.
