It's been a few months now since my son verbally committed. And, he still has 18 months to go in High School and 11 months before he can sign a NLI.
He was talking to a number of schools before he committed verbally. It ran the spectrum- D1, D2, D3 and Juco.
And, a lot of the recruiting coaches he was communicating with followed him on social media - Instagram and/or Twitter. And, there were others who followed him on social media were he didn't have a lot of conversations with - or maybe never talked to them at all.
He did the right thing before he verbally committed. He contacted all the coaches where he was having serious conversations and let them know that he was verbally committing, thanked them for their interest, wished them luck, etc.
After he verbally committed and posted it on social media, there were some recruiting coaches who "unfollowed" him on social media.
Is this common?
