My son attended Head First a few weeks ago. He did very well in both the drills evaluations as well as the games. So far he has had 12 coaches contact him. A few spoke directly to him at Head First. A few have emailed and called after Head First. A few have just emailed.

What is the best way to continue with these coaches? My son has responded to every email and phone call. He has remained in touch. Is there anything else that he should be doing? He wants to stay on their radar but does not really know what he should be saying and or doing?

My son seems disappointed that things are not moving faster. What should the time frame be and /or what should we expect in the next few weeks?

It seems that most of the coaches have left things open ended with things such as “if you are interested in visiting the school let me know”. Is this typical? Do D3 schools offer visits that are initiated by the coach or is this “let me know” an invitation?

Does anyone know what goes on in this process from the coaches side?

If anyone would care to share their recruting experience that would be great! I feel like we need some type of road map! Thanks!

By the way - son is a qualified applicant at all of the schools he likes so admissions should not be a problem for a coach - but it would be nice to have the coaches blessing with admissions.
