We also started back on HSBBWeb after son's sophomore year and begin looking at the recruiting time line and tried our very best to follow it to the max. Successes and failures followed but it was part of the process along the way.
I learned more from you good folks than any recruiting service could have provided. I got to hear from other moms and dads...how can you beat that?! You can't!
I don't remember who said it but he said it a couple of times...."Find a place that wants you" or something along those lines and it rang true for my son. They wanted him badly enough to sign him....and he did! To God be the glory!
