What recruits control vs. what they don’t 👇
CONTROL: Grades & transcript rigor, current film/stats online, outreach quality, visit behavior, asking the right post-offer questions (roster fit, transfers, ED expectation, aid renewal, majors of former players).
DON'T CONTROL: How many support slots exist this year, who already committed at your position, how selective that admissions office is.
What'd we miss?
Yorkville Fury Softball Benson retweeted
A high-academic D3 Coach told us this:
“As soon as I get a recruit's name I go to Twitter”
Their goal?
Get a quick sense of the player's fit for their program, aka if they are "recruitable"
Best Case: The recruit has all key info listed in their profile, it is up to date & there's film to watch
Worst Case: Limited info, no highlight, or even worse - no profile at all
Coaches can't recruit what they can't find
Twitter (X) is free and something all recruits should create & maintain
Yorkville Fury Softball Benson retweeted
So many recruits dismiss D3 for one reason:
No athletic scholarships
But here's what they miss:
Many high-academic D3 schools meet 100% of demonstrated need w/ numerous covering tuition entirely for families that make under $200k/year
What you get is a chance to play your sport at a high level, a top-tier degree, and a network that serves you for the rest of your life
Think 40 years not just 4 years down the road

Some of the happiest athletes I’ve been around aren’t chasing clout, comparisons or offers. They’ve built a life they actually enjoy—through the game, the grind, the people around them. Because they love that life, everything else.. the recognition, wins, awards, is just a bonus.
Our season came to a close this afternoon, with a loss to the eventual tournament champions Barrington Hurricanes. Regardless where roads take us, we know that we have a family that will support and care about us. Thanks to our wonderful players, coaches and families.
Final GAME DAY of the season! Even when the family changes, the family circle only grows. Our Fury Family is special and one of a kind, we are fortunate to spend this time together. We look forward to spending the day with FAMILY, one game at a time!

Final game of pool play = Tie vs Dupage Revolution, a team that had not given up a run in two previous games. We finished with a 10-10 tie after being down 10-6 to start the bottom half of the final half of the inning. Absolute GRIT, getting it done! GC highlights:

Congratulations to our pitchers Rebecca Kerber and Marie Vashkelis-Benson as they both surpassed the 100k’s for the season. Rebecca has 112 strikeouts in 94 innings and Marie has 103 strikeouts in 92.2 innings. They had solid pitching numbers for HS also. Way to go!!!

Going to a great D3 school doesn't have to be expensive
Generous merit & need-based scholarships are often overlooked due to misconceptions about how D3 financial aid works
Let's get back to the basics 👇
