Trust In Him posted:I would refrain from hinting where I might go based on other factors. A good thorough program already knows what the player can get academically/grants if they are really interested. They want to give minimum athletic but at the same time the overall picture would be little money spent out of pocket of student. Is your son the one discussing this with HC or RC? Another reason to stay away. Asking a lot from a 17/18 year old to know what to say in a non-confrontational manner. I myself never spoke to the coaches during the process except on the school visit. All communications were done through son.
I provide advice and suggestions to my son. Never ever would I get myself in the recruiting mix by speaking to a college coach. That is sage advice that is all over HSBBW and I have personally told parents that I know not to do it. The kid should be handling everything, with an acceptable level of guidance from the parent.
