@BBSBfan posted:The recruiting process is a real grind for the vast majority. Hang in there- a lot of runway left. How about sending out emails/tape to schools one level down from your projected level? If you get some dialog, etc it may be a boost in morale. If the landscape remains tough, you will already have some groundwork to revisit down the line. One common mistake we saw for 2022 and 2023 in our circles were that families ran their plan A exclusively and were late to pivot. Best case scenario is that your son calls these coaches later on to let them know he got his spot in a mid major and they will be happy for him.
He does email/send video to a variety of levels, including the level below what he's projected at. D3 coach has already talked with him. He would go to their camp, but unfortunately it's when we will be unavailable to take him. (It's 5+ hours away, and he's not quite ready to do a solo trip that far away as he's only had his license for about 6 months). I think if he were able to go, he'd probably get an offer.
We're definitely running multiple strategies as best as possible because like you said we don't want to run a plan A exclusively and be too late in pivoting.
