Ok, I hear mixed answers to this question and I know it varies by college...

 

...When did these '91 players commit?

 

I have a '92 son and I hear stories of schools already having their 2010 recruiting class set, yet none of the top 92 players (ODP or otherwise) that we know in Tennessee has committed yet, and we know that there is college soccer at various levels in many of their futures. They are all attending summer college camps and ODP Regional camp to add to exposure from last club season's Showcase Tournament exposure. Many will continue attending College Showcases this fall with their club teams and some are getting "interested" responses from these events.

 

I also know all about the communication rules of the NCAA and the July 1st phone call thing, but does anyone know when it actually gets to be crunch time and when the coaches start putting names down on paper for real? The names listed from the 2009 ('91) class...when did they actually get offers and commit?

The top programs have their 2010 classes pretty much set by now. Many of these players had been invited to camps where they can talk to them and get them committed verbally. Also, the players can call the coaches prior to July 1.

Odd, since again I don't know of any of the 92 ODP players that have verbally committed. My son still has D1 schools scouting him, granted they are not top 30 pre-season ranked schools.

 

Maybe I should ask...which Tennessee 2010 graduating student-athletes have committed to play collegiate soccer already and with whom?

 

I would still be curious to know when the 91's committed to schools like Memphis, ETSU etc.

My son who is a 91 player signed with a D1 school in February of this year. He was not recruited/contacted until July of 2008 (the summer after his Junior year). The school he committed to contacted him on July 1st after his Junior year. This the 1st day of legal recruiting. He was recruited by D1,D2 and NAIA schools throughout the rest of that summer and the fall of his Senior year. He made his verbal decision in December of 2008 and signed his letter of intent Feb 2009. Starts college this August. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Thanks, this does help and seems to be the the consensus timeline. I wanted to make sure he wasn't wasting his time talking to schools that already had their recruiting class set.

 

Good luck to your son.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
