I would add even if your son doesn't have an interest at that time, reply with courtesy. Interests change as the world comes into focus for 14 year old / all of us. Plus, once a school throws an offer to a school, word gets around and RC's take a second and third look.

A lesson I learned long ago is you never know who your future boss might be. My son wants eventually to coach and teach — we told him to always be respectful of every coach, assistant coach, graduate assistant he met along the way because you never know who might eventually be hiring or in a position to offer a recommendation for a job that you want. Even the guys who got mad when he chose a different school.
