With vacations and work schedule it may be August or so before my wife and I could also visit so I think they will be fine with that type of timeframe. That at least gives him another couple months to see how he is feeling etc.

So, it is June 20 and your son has been offered a combination 70% athletic/academic package. I would not wait until August. I would make every effort to get to campus before the middle of July (at the latest) to assess the offer and situation. I would do this for two reasons. First, you have to know if this is the ONE so you can evaluate and make a decision based on the data you have at that time. Second, it appears they are willing to incent the right person (with a very nice $$ offer) for the opportunity to be their future MIF. Recruiting goes into high gear in July. Do what you have to do to get there ASAP based on those offer numbers.

As always, JMO.
