Wow @AmBuddha and @dadof4kids I can’t thank you enough for your kind and encouraging words. I definitely appreciate any and all hand holding as a somewhat type A person who hates uncertainty as my son and I navigate this very uncertain process!
I sensed that much of what the two of you wrote is true and it is good to get confirmation from someone who’s been there and done that. It does take the pressure off a bit to realize that not everything is dependent on the athlete.
Also, I expect things will become slightly less murky as with the new recruiting rules my son can be contacted in about 6 weeks’ time. Either way will be great – he/we will know where he stands a bit more. (Understanding that things can change due to the college coaches’ needs changing etc).
