Yup and I have no gripe on early recruiting, except for committing 8th graders. Just providing ideas how to curb early verbal committments.
When/how to start recruitment process

TDS is a POS and has mostly been a shill for ECNL. They don't watch games they just regurgitate what they hear and listen to whatever club makes the most noise. I have seen way too many kids fall in their rankings as kids accumulate more and more accolades and recognition. Maybe now they will have to do some real work and actually watch somebody and not take somebody's word for it.
If the parents have decided at birth the child's eventual college, a "commitment" is just a formality.

Sometimes the parents have decided and the child goes rogue. That reminds me of something one of my VP's told me about her parents. She wanted to go to a certain SoCal college but her family is LDS and all of them went to BYU. Her father told her, "You can go to school wherever you want to but your college fund is going to BYU!"

I didn't know as parents we were supposed to pick their college

If they are Morman, BYU tuition is dirt cheap for a private school. The tuition is less than 6K a year.

Some do. Neither my wife nor I got any of our kids to agree with our first choices.
...although, I must confess, they respected my vetoes.

Why does it always have to be about your daughter? We get it, she made it to college.
When will the madness stop?
outside!

I would understand if you do not want to share, but I would be curious to which schools you vetoed and why.

Hey DIPSHIT if you have some shit to talk PM me. Otherwise don't quote me or mention me. You aren't as anonymous as you think asshole. What you are is looking to get pistol whipped.

Maybe someday your daughter will get there. @SuperNatural or @dickhead or @numbnuts or whatever. If you want to start shit PM me and I will give you my number and we can squash this...
Or are you a mitch?

You ain't bout that life, homie. Stop pretending.
UCSB because of the coach (which didn't apply to my daughter) and any school in Los Angeles. I wanted them close to home, and they both had good options, but they both ended up at UC Davis.
The oldest spent a couple of years proving to us that he is not in any way a college student, and he is now happily and fruitfully employed despite the lack of a degree.
I wasn't even aware the U16's had an 8th grader on that team

Then why don't you take her up on the offer and see? I know a tough, intelligent woman when I see one, and it's obvious MAP is.
