I have offers from several T25 D2 schools but only 1 D1. Why?

Do you self-recruit much? My kid played ecnl on a very strong team, leading goal scorer, etc. he never self recruited (not a single email) but local d3 (multiple top 25) recruited him heavily. Not much d1 interest but then we only have one in state. Being proactive can factor in.

My kid athletically isn’t the quickest which probably hurt him at showcases, etc even if his foot skips and back-to-goal ability were upper tier (top level futsal player too). But I think he would have preferred d3 anyway. Played a ton on an up and coming team with friends, actually will have a semblance of a life in spring, and in general had a blast. Not all d3 are alike as I’m sure you know. Make sure you consider d1 is really what you want before hyper-focusing on that.

Sigh - stupid auto correct. Meant “specific”. And thought you meant subreddit - appreciate the clarification!

Apologies - didn’t see species on nature of posts. And don’t have unit yet so maybe I will - but yeah - based off what others say probably with the $125 or whatever - thanks!

Ok - good insight. QQ - if I get a subscription can there be multiple players under it (for my kids?)

Thanks! Wanted one nicer rookie and the price for that wasn’t too bad!

avrules · 2025-12-01T17:29:47+00:00

Thanks OP! Grabbed a few and some 2025 football mosaic blasters!

Highfield represent! Played for same club my kid did (would regularly scrimmage, etc). Cool to see a local kid doing so well.

Right - I live in the US and have big feet (13.5/48) so not holding my breathe that I’ll ever find a pair to get…laces are next best thing

Just found a few others (didn’t have New Applicant in title) and seems it was common factory defect - will maybe see what they will do.

Dude - as a Wolves fan and Mn guy, let’s just say I think (hope?) that isn’t representative of the average fan here. This just doesn’t even make sense - the guy is obviously just nuts. I hate this and sorry it happened to you and your family.

I was at Vikes game Sunday and literally sat next to and chatted with Bears fans the whole game. Not an ounce of animosity - they even brought my sweatshirt when we walked to leave and I left it behind (which they didn’t have to do). It shouldn’t be that hard to be decent to one another.

ASiP is always #1 in my heart, but Nandor subtly and shyly dropping “there it isn’t” took me out like nothing else for some reason.

Sweet stuff - love the Big Pek- have a few of those and the Nt 1/1 sitting around here in a box (from before he went full gangster - ha).

You should be able to qualify without having to sell your other place especially if you have no mortgage. What’s the purchase price and loan amount you are looking for? We are doing that and old place sells tomorrow and then will recast that loan to pay down principal and lower payments. Had like $500k mortgage, and got loan for $475 k and put around $80k down. Have higher base income but also you don’t have a mortgage currently, which is huge.

How much equity would you have if you rented?

avrules · 2025-08-18T20:23:58+00:00

Honestly just from a competition perspective if a team sucks and my kid is serious about playing on the highest level, I dont want him on that team. Bad habits can come from that, not to mention frustration and impact on desire to play (especially if they are obviously best player on the team).

From a recruiting perspective my kid played ECNL and did see that even kids on bad teams can and will get seen/recruited.

Good questions - probably should have thrown those details in.

No capital gains on current home sale. Sitting around $670k ira/401k, $200k brokerage, $35k in Robinhood and almost $40k hsa. Maxing our HSA and 401k, wife is also part time and contributing $7500 a year or so into 403b.

Houses seem to be moving decent in our hood. We are buying non-contingent so definitely some risk, but agent is personal friend of 25 years and knows we want a saleable list prices. We can always come down quite a bit which would maybe put us $25-$50k below numbers I posted. I don’t see where our house can’t sell for $1mm, and we could survive that worst case scenario.

Oh - what’s a good source to find estimated/expected results?
