Be careful how you explain the situation if you should even bother at all. A lot of people don’t understand “interested” is not an offer. They don’t understand half the players entering D1 transfer due to failing or lack of opportunity. It’s not uncommon for a D1 roster to be 14 freshman and 21 soph to seniors. Only 18-20 of 35 contribute each season.

I'd go so far as to say that unless your kid has gotten an offer, you likely don't know the difference between interested and an offer. I was just talking to a dad last week who said his son was offered by an Ivy - the coach told him all he had to do was get in and try out for the team.
