<p>Thanks, Fenway. I am glad that despite feeling a little itch to see the future, our son seems to equally appreciate keeping irons in the fire. Last month he was seen by a coach who is from a school significantly outside our area who nonetheless has kept up contact with him by leaving messages and sending personalized email. This weekend he told me he has decided he wants to do an overnight at the school because he looked it up and has a good feeling about it, despite the fact that it will involve plane flights, unlike the other schools he’s looking at. I am glad he still feels like he wants to keep all options open.</p>
<p>We currently seem to have about 7 schools still “in play”, some we are further along with than others. With several, they now have everything they need from us, including having visited their campus for a clinic. Son has followed up with all of them saying he liked their campus and staff and is interested, so if we don’t hear more back from those schools within, say, the next 2-3 weeks, we’re going to have son ask the direct question - where do you think I realistically stand in your current recruiting lineup?</p>
<p>And then go from there with the start of school and seeing what kinds of visits we can fit in.</p>
