@Iowamom23 posted:So I'm going to raise one point that I haven't seen addressed — your note above says "to help me make an assessment" and "we have only D3 offer". It's not you, it's not we. It's your son.
What does he want to do? Where does he want to go? You also mention what people said on Zoom calls. My son had tons of those calls, we didn't participate. He had to see how he felt about the coaches and the program and build his own relationship.
When he got a P5 offer, we talked to the coach to understand the offer, and that was it. I talked to a couple of his local coaches just asking if he had a legit shot at playing, but in the end it didn't matter. I told him I wanted to talk about it, he came home that night and said, I told them I'm coming, what did you want to talk about?
It was his decision. It needs to be your sons. it's cool and exciting to get the big dogs lining up, but your job needs to be helping your son keep it all in perspective and make the right choice for him, not getting carried away in the hoopla.
That may not be what's happening, just seemed like something to watch out for.
Enjoy the ride and have great fun along the way.
Ha-ha, I have to disagree! Unless he's getting a full-ride (not likely), parents (who will be paying) need to participate in the decision!
