How Long to Wait on Schools?

2022 RHP sent video out after a huge velo jump from last year. He's getting a lot of interest from mid majors, who are talking offers. The P5 schools have shown interest, but  it has been the same conversation for the most part - very interested, need to see it live. 

That obviously isn't possible right now. I see kids committing, but in talking to credible baseball people in the know and from some of the kids themselves, they were all guys who had been seen previously with updated video for this summer. 

I understand the go where you are loved mantra and I'm not discrediting or ignoring that, but I also understand it's hard to love someone when you've only seen them through a chain link fence on a iPad on a tripod. 

So the question is how long do you hold out for the P5s? Do you hold out at all? Do you trust a coach who has made an offer thru video only? I don't want him to cheat himself where he could've played at a higher level, but I also don't want to drag this on forever and judging by the news it may go on forever. I honestly think he's just scratching the surface and has a lot more in him, but we know spots aren't available forever. 

Obviously the Covid situation is new to everyone. I know there are a lot of former coaches/parents of coaches on here as well as parents of talented players. Wondering how others would handle?
