Does your son continue to follow every school that he reached out to before he verballed? Probably not.
From my perspective, it is the same idea for the RC as well as for your son...focus on what matters.
JMO.
He actually does still have some contact with A FEW of the other schools. 99.9% of the time it's the coach reaching out. He recently had one connect with him asking for a favor. "We really are interested in XYZ and we know he's in your area. Can you give us his contact number?" But, it's not often or with many. Just the few where he really hit it off with the coach and they made a personal connection.
That said, he's 100% focused on his school of choice. Even though he's 18 months out, it's like he's there already. He talks to the coaches, he's made friends with some on the team via social media, and he's training with one eye on the upcoming HS season but with another eye on where he needs to be for the college in 18 months.
