I have just read through the last several post on this topic. I have to say the post by PG pretty much sums it up. If you are at the recruitment phase in your son's journey, read that post very carefully and soak in what he is saying. He has been in this business a long time and has seen thousands and thousands of players. Most of up parents probably are using hundreds as our reference. The part about the need of the specific program is also very appropriate. Your son must have ability first, then he must be able to fill a specific need of a program if you are looking at a specific school. Sometimes you could have the talent, but they don't have the need.
