Today is Preference round at Alabama. Good luck to all the girls. I hope the rain holds off, and the girls hold up. It has been a very long week! Someone posted earlier they heard 200 were released/resigned early in the week. I heard 300 after open house. Hopefully all the remaining women will have parties to attend today and all who want a home will find one tomorrow.
I've been reading the Auburn and UK threads, and it has been a tough recruitment season so far in the SEC. I had a rec girl at UK resign before pref. because she didn't have her favorite. No one in her family is Greek, and she was totally unprepared, even though local alums offered to help. I hate it for her, and evidently she didn't think she needed help or advice. It didn't have to end like that for her, she had other choices. Keep that in mind PNMs and Moms.
Roll Tide!
What time do parties begin today and what time do/did they get their invitations? I'm following three girls - two had full schedules to skit parties but the third has either been completely dropped or only had one skit party due to grades. Her 9th grade GPA was low due to a learning disability - once it was diagnosed, her grades have been excellent. However, it knocked her overall GPA way down. Other than that, she is a beautiful & outstanding girl. I really hate it for her & her mom - I tried to make them understand that this was a very real possibility but they chose to go ahead - felt she had done nothing wrong and surely it would all work out. My heart is breaking for both of them.
Parties begin today about noon. Don't know when the PNMs get their list, but probably soon.
200 were gone as of last night; right now, about 240. That 300 figure after open house is is wrong. Now, plenty will quit once they get their pref party list. Plenty will not sign a bid card.
We'll see what happens over the next hours. Tough recruitment season? No, this is a normal recruitment in the SEC.
