College Commitment Process

College Running D1

2 years ago 09/12/2021 5:23pm EDT

I’m new to this process (class of 22) and I have multiple spots on a couple d1 college teams that I can commit to. What does it mean to verbally commit? Do I just call a coach and say “I want in”? If I’ve verbally committed to one team should I only apply there? I’ve seen people announce their commitments on Instagram and such, are they announcing their verbal commitment? What if you make one of those posts and you don’t get accepted into the school? How long after you verbally committed to a school did you start to tell people? If u can show like a process of what happened with your commitment, please share, I’d love some knowledge as I really have no clue what to expect.

Thanks

If the coach offered you a spot, you are in.

All the wasted nonsense all over these boards and nobody has advice for a very good question?

He got his answer. If the coach offered a spot and he committed, he is in. He can tell people. HE needs to follow whatever process the coach tells him to apply to the school. But if the coach told him that he is in, his application is not for the purpose of being reviewed for acceptance but to gather his information for the school.

re: commit sounds like

There were lots of good questions actually in his question. For one...if you verbally commit should you not still apply to other schools?...I'm guessing you should still apply since verbal commitments are not binding. Would be helpful for someone who went through it recently to walk through the process, understanding every situation can be a little different. I'm sure there are many others interested in the answers.

Talk to the coach about the process for the school. The coach should already know your grades/sat scores and you know that you are qualified. One of my daughters had 22 verbal offers, my son had over 30 by soph yr in hs, btw - 'verbal' should also be in an email. It's the coach's way of saying we have this money set aside for you, if you commit (verbally) we will hold the money, assuming all things (grades/athletics) remain the same.
