We have a friend that I have been helping in understanding the recruiting process.
His son is a senior, they live here in Florida, attends a well known program, an honor student, high test scores, plays for a very good travel program.
He does not fit the physical profile that most coaches prefer.
With that being said, upon my advice, he began to concentate on Juco and D2 programs in state and today received a walk on opportunity to a D2, with scholarship $$ in the spring of 2025.
He received advice to post on social media that HC from XYZ offered him an opportunity to walk on in the fall. He was told by someone that coaches that had an interest would get word and more than likely offer with $$$ before signing day.
I told him if other coaches had been interested they would have offered months ago. Accept the offer if he wants, but do not post on social media.
Not sure if I gave the right advice. I do not know this particular coach, who is relatively new to FL, have heard he is very good.
Any advice?
