Reply to "Telling a College Coach That Other Schools Are Recruiting You."

FSF,

I think the other schools ask to just confirm that they are fishing in the correct pond. That's not to say that there might be an outlier school which is only offer (or major offer) that a recruit receives. In my son's experience, once one major school made an offer, it made the rest of the offers much, much easier to obtain.

ps: My son went on several UOV. They were normally 2 back-to-back within driving distances of each other. It was pretty easy to mention that we are going to a visit another college (did not mention name) on Friday and wondering if Saturday (Or Thursday) would be a good day to visit. They would ALWAYS ask where else we were going. We wouldn't come out and mention exactly where but would give a very strong hint so they would know. Do Not Lie and say you are going someplace and you really aren't though.
