Should I email Kate Drohan directly or an assistant coach?
Email head coach Kate Drohan and CC Caryl Drohan (Associate Head Coach) — one of Northwestern's 3 listed assistants. At most NCAA Division I programs an assistant runs the first pass on the recruiting inbox.
When should I email Northwestern University's coaches?
You can write to the Northwestern staff at any time — NCAA rules limit when NCAA Division I coaches may respond (September 1 of junior year), not when you write. Submit Northwestern University's recruiting questionnaire first so Kate Drohan's staff finds you in its database, then follow up every 4-6 weeks with new video and stats.
