My two cents on this... I will most certainly take my son early. Maybe even this coming summer at age 13. Not because I expect D1's to come running over to me and my 13 yo son but so my son can see whats out there. Any time he has gotten into an environment where he is surrounded by highly talented athletes it has inspired and motivated him. Gives him goals to shoot for. Shows him how hard he has to work to get there. What I don't want is my son to be at recruiting age and walk into his first such event clueless and maybe then even nervous and lacking in confidence. I want him walking in at 16 having been there before. Still a big deal to him but in a quiet relaxed and confident way.
