I have read long pants (khakis) also shorts (nice) and polo type shirts, what do you guys think?...and he likes to wear his bb hat, should he not?


Yes, most Ivys do interviews.  Some have alumni interviews across the world and others can provide an on-campus interview.  This makes sense since he'll be on campus. 

 

IMHO....I would dress business casual (khakis/polo or button down shirt) for the interview and discussions with the coaching staff, and then change into something more comfortable when around the team.  You can always dress down when appropriate.  There are others on this site that would suggest dressing like Larry the Cable Guy.  I'm not in that camp.

 

My son has hosted a bunch of OVs for recruits.  He's got a pretty thick skin, but two things annoyed him.  First, recruits that just talk about themselves and how wonderful they are in high school.  Know your audience and know your place.....these are fairly accomplished & smart people that are already playing college baseball.  Second, if you decide to drink don't overdo it. I wouldn't drink at all, but I'm a realist.    BTW.....Everything he says and does this weekend will get back to the Coach.  Coaches will ask the current players about the recruits.   I'm not suggesting your son would be one of these kids, but just giving you a heads up from the current players perspective.

 

Good luck!
