Lost of great info above. All i can add from experience is do what is best for your son. RCs have a job to do and a list of candidates. Nothing more nothing less. The good ones stay in touch and always keep kids abreast of status/interest, all the rest are average to not great. The comment above about the RC hanging up on their kid makes me think of when my son decommitted and dealing with the fury of the PC on that call. Son got better and chose to move on to a bigger, better and "closer to home" (albeit much warmer and without snow) school after a previous verbal. Take it as you like, some will say it reflected negatively on his character to do so but its funny when the schools, who have ALL the power, do it and it's commonplace and just part of the recruiting game. Keep us up to speed on your son and where he ends up!
