I don't think this question just applies to HA schools. I was discussing this with a dad the other day as to whether his son needed to apply to others just in case the NLI was not what was discussed or if the NLI did not come at all. He is one of those worried that the P5 his son has committed to has overrecruited. Do/did you/your son apply at multiple schools just to be safe?

Especially if you're recruited as a rising junior or earlier...that's a lot of time to go by. Do kids keep in contact with a coach during that time, to stay top of mind?

I'm still unclear what happens over the next few months until the application goes in. Coach for my son said he'd text at the end of August. Will he be invited to a fall practice, stay over with the team, etc?
