Plenty of Northeast schools still with ZERO public verbal commitments for 2027: Siena Canisius St. Peter's Rider Merrimack FDU Niagara St. Bonaventure Mercyhurst #CollegeSoccer #ClassOf2027 It’s important to take a closer look at these schools and ask yourself some critical questions before making any decisions: - Why don’t they have commitments yet? - Could their lower rankings reflect challenges in recruiting? - Do they have a unique recruiting style, like Siena and FDU, who take a slower approach? - Are they navigating changes, such as a new coach, like St. Bonaventure? Don’t blindly sign up for ID clinics or rush into commitments just because a school catches your interest. Take the time to research, ask the right questions, and ensure the program aligns with your goals—both on and off the field. Thoughts? What questions do you ask before considering a program?
