What comes between OVs and NLI?

D has been on 2 OVs. Coaches had verbally spell out $ in academic vs. athletic. Said they will keep in touch during the next week or so. We still have 2 more to go. 1 upcoming already said on the phone the $ amount for academic and said he will talk athletic $ when she gets there. As this one is the last one (nov 1st) and that is really close to early NLI period, we are wondering what should we be prepared to do between now and then? Should we be expecting some written agreement along with the verbal agreement before signing? I don’t feel comfortable having her sign anything based on just what the coaches told her. Most of her money will be academic so they won’t be in the NLI. Can you tell them you won’t sign anything until you have something in writing? That sounds like we don’t trust the coach. Her top choice is the last one so I don’t know what we’ll do if one of the other 2 comes first and we are still waiting for this last one. Any advice? Thanks.
