You wouldn't have a link to that would you Dominick?

Thanks to everyone who's responded to my initial post. I think my son has pretty much turned the page on that school. The campus was great, the area very interesting, the food in the dining hall was surprisingly good, but, well, you know the rest.
Anyway, another coach left a phone message earlier today that he'd really like to get my son out to his school for a visit "SOON". He saw son in a showcase a month or so ago and liked what he saw. Since then they've exchanged a couple of phone calls and emails. Son really likes him. I think if he likes the campus, ballfield, ect... and gets an offer he'll jump. He'd really like a legitimate chance to compete for playing time as a freshman too. Is that a fair question to ask a coach during a visit? Can he expect an honest answer? I wonder.
