| Overit, my son was heavily recruited for basketball among several ivy and patriot league schools. Fortunately, he had the combination of athletic talent and excellent grades in a rigorous curriculum. We went on 14 (yes, 14!) unofficial visits, so he could get a feel for the school and the coaching staff. Visiting the school and talking with the coaches is by far the best way for your son to evaluate the school and the athletic program. My son was then able to narrow down where he wanted to take his "official" visits. The one thing we kept telling him to ask himself was, "If you weren't playing basketball would you still be happy attending this school?" He is very pleased with his decision and will be matriculating in September. |
