Reply to "Where is the interest?"

From our recruiting experience .... Whether a coach's recruiting norm is to send a "boxfull" of mail or a single letter, they've made the first move and need to know who's interested. These days coaches have to start recruiting a couple of years before they will even know what positions they actually have to fill your freshman season! So yeah, they are going to recruit players that later will get "dropped" once they know the make up of their returning team. Harsh reality. The reverse is true. Coaches get "junk" mail too. Thousands of players will fill out their profile forms, many who, when it comes down to making a decision, will drop the school from their consideration. So the dance begins. Is the coach that sent mail or made contact really interested in making an offer? Is the player that sent mail and made contacted really interested in accepting the offer? No guarantees on either end. My advice is always: don't wait, don't guess, have your player pick up the phone and talk with the coach of the program he is interested in. Be prepared to receive both good news and bad news. Good news, go for it. Bad news, time to move on.

Good Luck everyone. As terrific an experience it was for son & family, I would NOT want to do it again!
