@adbono and @PitchingFan we actually asked if our son could talk to some of the players. Our thinking was at a game with thousands of fans, parents are too into the game to want to talk to parents of a recruit. The coaches had him talk to two of the freshman OFs, one who is 6'6" and was considered "raw" like my son and the other was the only black player on the roster. One battled hard for ABs and the other redshirted. They just chatted about their experiences and positively reinforced what he was already thinking about the team dynamics, the coaches and his ultimate decision. It was helpful because they shared perspectives very relevant to him.
