Here's another point for discussion. Coaches generally communicate via email. Kids our age have a difficult time with email, being trained on text. This goes for EVERY kid, even the super achievers. I know some parents who make their kids take 100% of the email responsiblity, and other parents who take full control of the process. I think it's ok to create a hybrid model, that's totally up to you. But it's something to consider because leaving it up to your athlete to fully communicate with coaches consistently (other than via ext) is a risk. You have to be on it. IMO they have time to improve their communication skills, they have a very limited window to get the recruitment process right.
