This has come up in a phone conversation my son recently had with a recruiting coordinator. The recruiting coordinator (RC) asked him if any other schools were recruiting him and son replied honestly and said "yes." The RC then asked "which school?" and son relayed that info as well.
Question: When son follows up via e-mail with some of the schools that have shown interest (for example, sending updated transcripts and video) should the fact that there are other schools interested be included with these e-mails? To me it seems a tad brazen and son is not 100% comfortable taking that approach either. The main reason I ask is that it seems, by my observations thus far, that when a kid starts getting hit up by multiple schools - and they start to know about it - stronger interest grows.
I've especially seen this via social media - a kid does not say "I just got an offer from X University" Rather, they will post a picture of a school (or schools) they are visiting (unofficially or officially). Seems like a subtle way to have coaches see that the prospect is making the rounds.
Son is a 2019 OF/C/3B
Thanks as always to all of you that have been or are in this process and are willing to share your knowledge.
