Thanks- I think that sounds good, he should express to #1 and #2 choices where they rank. Do you think its OK to send an email and express this in an email? The coaches especially in the summer can be hard to reach and my son works all day in a job that does not allow personal calls.

So once has made this declaration…will the coach then take the cue and tell him where he stands on the the list? Or should my son take the initiative and ask? He doesn’t want to overstep his boundaries however this is the window where these things and conversations are starting to happen.

Also Gingerpeach the recruiting in 10th grade is done with D1 but D3 starts very casually in 11th grade and then intensifies after July 1st (when they can obtain transcripts and scores and schedules to get a read from the admissions office). We just met with his high school coach who laid this all out for us.

If there is one thing I have learned its that you really have to advocate for yourself, and be the initiator. One thing I think my son needs to step up a little…but the interest seems to be there. I am just wondering at what point will a coach come out and say “we want you, admissions said you are good to go” then is it a verbal commitment with D3’s? This is one thing I have no idea about…thank you. I so agreed with the analogy “about dancing and not knowing the steps” I always feel one or two (or three)! steps behind!
