Reply to "What is parents role after an offer is made?"

Middle son got 24 hours at his #1.  Couldn't afford it.  They told him they had 5 guys for one spot left and he was #1 but there were 4 others.  Hardest thing to say no to.  Youngest son had no pressure until the end of the summer and coach just asked how much more time he needed.  Was given 2 months.  I had a friend's son who was at WWBA and his #1 school, P5, made him offer and gave him until the end of the day.  RC said you were our #3 guy before that outing and now we want to make you X offer.  Let me know by midnight, I'm watching #1 guy tomorrow morning and if I don't hear from you we will probably offer that spot to him.  Lot of pressure on teenage kids (and parents).  I tell everybody you need to know what it will take when you go to a school or begin conversation.  You never know when they will offer and what expiration they will put on it.  it's like going to buy a car.  You need to know what you want and what you are willing to pay.
