Thanks for the reply.
I think there is a lot that goes into recruiting than we all actually know. I think that it all comes down to the coach knowing and understanding the needs of their particular program, not anyone else's. A top power5 program might essentially go after the same type of player, a mid D1 another and a lower tier D1 another. Players are looking for the same in their recruiting experience. Sometimes a player slips through the cracks, no one seems to be hot on the player, he ends up being a stud. Or the guy everyone wants, doesn't pan out.
As a parent YOU have to know and understand what's best for YOUR son. Don't worry about anyone else, why you see some guys getting offers and why your player has none. Pre HS offers MEAN NOTHING.
Just make sure that your players are being seen at the right venues, by the right people. That's all that should be important. Understand that for MOST players, real deal offers come as rising juniors or seniors.
