"My son received his first great offer when he was a freshman and lots of offers from D1's including 6 P5's through his commitment before his junior year."
If you are getting offers this early in the process, those early offers set your initial value AND are precursors for additional offers from (at least) peer schools. From that point the player has control of the process (assuming grades are kept, no character issues, continued skills improvements, and no coaching changes). [BUT, its a small minority of players who fall into that category (despite all those fevered parents telling you otherwise).]
Good stuff here. My son, freshman this year, has started to received offers from some P5 schools. We have been talking to some other families this past week who are in the same boat. The question has been when do you finally know when it's time to commit? Do you keep dragging it along to see what other schools come to the table or do you go with the school that is showing the most love and you think is the best fit and follow your heart on that. Some have said you will know when the right school as come along as you will start comparing other schools to that single school.
