Well I just love this post. If your son is academic oriented, HF is worth every single penny. The price tag is high, but they even worked a payment plan with me ahead of time. Very reputable people and I think their character resonated with the boys. Their well rehearsed speeches cut right thru the bull. (Like it's your job to contact and interact with the coaches, not mommy & daddy) . Solid, truthful, sincere talks. The Coaches could not have been nicer. I overheard conversations where I just thought the coach was one hell of a guy. (Ursinus, Holy Cross). My son did a great job, and it's a truism: If the coaches like a player, there's no mistaking it. We are going to visit some schools come September and see where it leads him. Remember the caveat: play where you are loved.
