D1 Scholarship- When is too late?

Scholarship as in 50%?

7:50/13:30

I'm curious about this as well. My daughter is a junior and received some recruiting interest based on her times last spring as a sophomore. Unfortunately, she suffered an injury that will take 4-6 months to recover from. She won't have times again for recruiting purposes until indoor season her senior year.

Have her take a gap year if you actually think she'll run recruit-worthy times at the end of her senior year.

Had a girl sign in July (after Snr year) - full tuition covered. But ran 2.08. Had a few injuries before - previous two HS seasons were shortened and covid took her first two HS seasons. So dont give up necessarily, sometimes things open up late if you are not too fussy about the school and get some good times late.

That's got to be rare though, like running fast at uttc twilight meet in july then going to Indiana on a full ride. Do most schools keep an extra scholarship spot year round?

My son got a full athletic scholarship as runner-up state meet but top performer from state at NXR to the local mid-major (team is pretty bad but has potential). Just perform at big meets, not all about times. He beat many guys with slightly faster PRs. Those kids did go P5, but the days of P5 are disappearing as the NCAA is dissolving. Not sure there will be "P5" in a few years.

Man I really hope that’s some kind of burner number. You have no idea how many absolutely garbage people lurk these threads and will absolutely take advantage of this.

LOL

Spots are limited for scholarships by this time but definitely still possible

A few things to note. He mentioned a girl. They have 50% more scholarships. She ran 2:08 which is elite. She was 17/18 when she ran the time. And few schools have scholarships at that lat date. Good schools are good because they know how to recruit and use scholarships. They don't let money go unused.
