Still trying to figure out how this all works.
My son is a 2016 and has had various levels of interest from schools. He has received a few offers, while others have said they "remain interested". One of the offers is from one on his list of Top Five schools he'd be interested in attending.
Due to other commitments, he does not play in the Fall, so will likely make his decision by early/mid-August, after the various PG events down in GA.
The question is whether one should contact those schools that have said they are "interested", but have not made an offer, before the player commits, or, since they never made an offer, there is no reason to call as they would've made an offer were they truly interested.
My thought is that the schools know the timing as to when kids commit, so, if they have not made an offer, they are not likely to just because a kid calls them to say he's looking to commit to XYZ school.
If a school has made an offer, then the kid owes that school a call to advise them of his decision.
