There is a Power 5 D1 coach that my son has established a relationship with. My son has performed very well the few times this D1 coach has seen him play. Still on the school's radar, however the coach directly told son that they are done with 2019s but next year's draft and other factors could create an opening so he wants to stay in touch and continue to see him play. Could be lip service but this coach has always been up front and very honest.
There are a few schools still interested in my son including a mid major D1 that my son is extremely interested in for many factors. This mid major has multiple 2019 slots still to fill. The head coach has seen multiple videos of my son and PG profile. Mid Major coached called my son and they hit it off immediately - they have texted and e-mailed back and forth several times over the past few months . This mid major school is out of state (airplane ride) so it's tricky in terms of the coach watching son play live.
My question is if it would be appropriate for son to ask high level D1 coach for a recommendation or to otherwise put in a good word for him to the mid major coach?
The schools are in different conferences and different states. Any feedback would be appreciated as I am trying to provide son with best advice/suggestions. As a 2019, time is important as far as D1 is concerned. Thank you.
