Daughter is a sophomore. Interested in actual stories for people who have been through it. Not talking early D1 commits...more interested in the process for the remaining players.

What is the true experience/recruiting process for D2/D3?

My daughter didn't even think about playing after HS until the end of her sophomore year. We spent the summer and fall of Junior year thinking about all the non-soccer decisions: what she wanted to study, how far from home she was willing to go and what we could afford. Late fall we started sending letters of interest to the coaches at schools that she was interested in (D-2 & D-3). She ruled out D-1 on her own before we even knew that we were too late anyway because she didn't want to be "owned" by the team.
We started going to see schools and scheduled on-campus meetings with coaches during the late winter, early spring of her junior year and started signing up for the school's camps and clinics for the summer after her junior season. By mid-summer she was focussed on one D-2 school and the coach invited her for an overnight visit that fall (October). After the overnight she was offered a spot on the team and she gave a verbal commitment, applied early admission and was accepted in January.

When I was in school, we used to have baseball practice at Midnight during the off-season. Not fun.
