[QUOTE="jal, post: 590967, member: 3477"] MWM, I've been on the board for @ least 8 years, but I do not post a lot, but I read. I think you need to chill on Jumper. She obviously has a level head and is a good person/girl who has beliefs about what she does & doesn't want, whether it pertains to her old boyfriend, or going to prom with or with-o a date. She will survive this, I believe, if what you have always told us about her is true. I am way older now, but I was recruited by 5 schools to play volleyball. Three schools that recruited me, I didn't have the grades to get in. One even offered me a satellite campus to get grades to their liking & then I could transfer to main campus and play. And yet, I wasn't a horrible student, just not 3.5 +. There are 3 divisions in sports. Although she may have her heart set on a "school" because of the name, there are many other schools in different divisions where she could play and the focus is more on academics and the coaches are making sure they are making the grade. I played at a division 3 school. Division 1 was my choice (who wouldn't want to go), but I had to realistically look at my choices/availability. Those were laid out to me by the coaches I met, as they will be to her. I made my best grades ever at that college. Also, too having had a debilitating injury in the sport in my freshman yr of hs, I knew I could have a repaeat, which I did my freshman yr of college, which ended my volleyball career. But, my point is, let her figure it out on her own. Let her go, meet the recruiters and hear the facts. It will not harm or scar her. It is life, it is reality and it is with this, how she will be able to handle what comes after college. REAL LIFE. She seems so level headed, that an actual meeting and honest talk could put things into perspective for her. She struggles academically, but her hard work keeps her passing and forging on. She can take those things and channel them into a school in a different division, where she can play the sport she loves with a lot of support. [/QUOTE]
