I’m sure she’s a nice player. Recruiting a 7th grader in any sport shouldn’t be allowed. Go to camps and talk Junior year.

Way to be a buzz kill 😂 This young lady is excited about the opportunities that are ahead for her and nothing wrong with her getting on campus (on her own dime) and talking to coaches.

I'm sure there will be lots of camps in her future also.

But since it is allowed to talk to a 7th grader if one hits you up and she shows potential nothing wrong with getting it on the schedule.

In 2029 we will be playing all machines. So those we are recruiting will be the programmers. Children will be left alone at that point, and will be allowed to grow up and enjoy playing and being children.

You've obviously never worked with 7th grade girls
There is a transition that happens in the 6/7th grade for girls that only people who have worked with them can see

boys are "boys" from day one and change to become men (at least most of them do) (one transition)
Girls are different
They are kids, until nature slaps them in the face with the fact that they are girls, then they become women (Two transitions)
most young girls are girls from the gitgo, but I'd say for about 25% of them it doesn't register that they are girls until they have to acknowledge it by either nature, or chronological aging

I'm sure I will get negative and defensive feedback on this,,but I am 43 years working with over 2000 girls/women and my insight is learned, not supposed

That said, a good coach can judge the potential of staying power and potential at this age
BUT NOT before!

That may work for the casual fan. Having a female D1 athlete who had her first offer before she entered HS gives a different perspective. She was also part of the class that had the NCAA step in and implement 9/1 of Junior year. Coached numerous female athletes at that age, majority currently playing D1/small D1 with a few D2/NAIA. So again, male or female no kid needs to be recruited in middle school in any sport. I’ll say again, I’m sure she is a fine player.

Also, to be more specific, I am not talking about whatever the team is doing, that's their business. I mean speculating on kids who are 6 years away from making commitments. Something's weird about all of this. Can't say I'm a fan of it. Feels like nothing good can come from having these threads hanging over our heads for the next SIX years. With all the negative comments people cough up, and the rumors, and all that stuff? I don't like that idea at all.
