Just an update. Things are going pretty well as planned. We sent out a resume/video link in April. He followed up with an email asking 4 coaches for a meeting, and also got his HS coach involved since technically the D1 coaches aren’t supposed to email him yet. We have 4 days to visit, and all 4 coaches he contacted have set up meetings with him. We got a bit lucky with our days, 2 fit very well, 2 not ideal but coach still meeting with us. They were probably his top 4 choices, at least at this point in the process. He also will see a decent variety of places and that might affect where he wants to go after he has that experience.

In the last month or so he has gotten what I would call a soft offer of a full ride to a very good D2 program, so I guess we have that in our pocket. That isn’t really the direction I think either of us are intending for him to go, but it does alleviate some of the pressure to know that if the higher level doesn’t work out he still has a decent back up plan. That coach is aware that he is the back up plan.
