You are all such knowledgeable people, I'm sure you'll have some great advice.
I have a daughter who will graduate in 2009. In the fall we took an unofficial visit to a college, watched the team, met the coach. We sent in video and began an email correspondence with the asst. coach. He was very positive and encouraging and in early Feb. said that "they" wanted to come to our town (3 hours away) to watch her at a practice. We sent our practice schedule and then . . . nothing.
We continued to send email updates every couple of weeks. About 2 weeks after MEQ, we got a brief email from the asst. coach attaching a camp brochure.
This week on the 2009 commitments, I saw a commitment to this college by a player that is practically a twin to my daughter - same height, weight, similar reaches.
They will have 3 scholarships available next year and already have 2 commitments.
here's the dilemma - we have limited time and money for camps and really want to send her to camps where the coaches are interested in her for their program. So, would it be okay for her to ask the asst. coach if she is still on their list of possible recruits for 09? If they've definitely crossed her off because they have the other girl, I hesitate to send her to their camp when she could go to another college that is still interested in her. On the other hand, I don't know if this is considered "crossing the line"- we're new to the recruiting game and aren't sure where the line is.
Sorry for the long post. What do y'all think?
