Reply to "What to expect?"

Congratulations to your son on this first step of recruiting.  At 13-14 years old, if the player is mature enough to even be contemplating committing, then I believe that the player needs to be in the driver seat for these discussion, but the parent needs to be riding shotgun, not observing from outside the car.  I would strongly suggest to go through the process.  That means talking to everyone that is interested.  Taking the time (and the $) to do the visits to schools and to meet these coaches in person and complete an academic tour, not just a baseball tour.  Lots of good advice above on lists and notes.  My biggest suggestion is to "not be open for offers".  If you indicate to coaches that at this point, you are going through the process, and not seeking an offer, they will respect your decision and process, and you and your son will be able to really get to know the coaches and schools before $ is involved and the pressure to make a decision is on.
