Absolutely!! A great place to start is with determining what a "fit" means in your and son's eyes.
I've know many HS players that I thought could have and should have played somewhere. For probably a variety of reasons, they were never recruited outright. However, if they had taken the bull by the horns!
One of those players I speak of had actually received a letter and a questionnaire from a school that had called my son. They asked about the kid and I think had some genuine interest... he never replied with the questionnaire or contacted them. He also turned down a couple of very reasonable opportunities to showcase himself his senior year (like $60 and $100 opportunities) that resulted in some opportunities for my son and others. Again, if no calls are coming in, players need to get proactive now!
