Great! Thanks! Appreciate your response & advice. Son has two midwest schools and a west coast school who have expressed interest (the coach has emailed & called). We are trying to figure out how to visit each school - this gets tricky with the school schedule!

If there is a first choice school is it advisable to let the coach know that his school & program are the first choice? Does that help the player move up the list?

Also, is it a good sign that the coach promptly responds to all emails? We have had coaches not respond at all and then some coaches respond quickly. I do not want to assign meaning to this if this is simply a personal style etc… We have met with four coaches at their schools. So far three of the four have sent a thank you email within half an hour of us leaving their office. The fourth coach - have not heard a thing from and he has not returned any emails or a phone message. From our point of view the fourth coach is not interested and the other three want to stay on the radar as interested.

Thanks, again for your input. This process can be crazy!
