Reply to "Offer experiences"

Just remember that just because your son is talking to coaches doesn't always mean an offer is coming.  Son was having pretty consistent communication from a P5 school in our area starting his sophomore year.  He was the #2 player in our state at his position, but there were rumors that the #1 guy was possibly decommitting and they kept telling him an offer was coming, but when they all of a sudden signed the #1 guy, the communication stopped.  He was also in high communication with a mid-major close by and they wanted him to come for a visit.  We went and they gave him a very generous offer in-person at the end of the visit.  No serious pressure, but they did say they needed to know fairly soon.  He took a few days and ended up committing there.  He said it just felt right.  After watching the horrible seasons that P5 school has had, the fact that he has started at his school Day 1 of his freshman year, he has never looked back and couldn't be happier with his decision.  My point being, take your time and make sure you are finding the right fit for him.  The "bells and whistles" at some schools doesn't always equate to playing time and happiness. 

On a side note, the #1 guy lasted one year and went to a JUCO.
