Recruits Questions for Meeting with HC or RC

EdgarFan,

Please be aware of the contact rules regarding coaches talking to players.

 The player does not have to worry that he needs to direct the conversation, these are experienced coaches who have done this hundreds of times they will be the ones to control and lead the discussion.

Keep in mind as PG has suggested, that they have contact rules to follow, so why not just let it be and let them do their job.

Does that apply even if the player approaches the coach in person, at the tournament?  I thought it was a one-way thing: coach can't approach/call player, but player can approach/call the coach. 

We're just entering this phase, and the player I'm talking about (not my son) is a year ahead of mine; what I know is what I have read, mostly here, and probably has to be beat into me about 1000 more times before I will fully remember/get it.  I do remember that, for a rising Senior like this player, July 1 changes things (right?).  I will no longer be in AZ by then, but he will remain, as his younger brother is playing in younger age tournament the following week.  It may be that they have something scheduled for AFTER July 1, but he wants to brainstorm stuff ahead of that.

The general topics I thought of revolve around (in no particular order): academic support, attitudes towards redshirting, current roster construction and expectations for the next 3-4 years, stuff like that.  Would love any other general (or specific) ideas for topics or questions, as well as any more information about what is or isn't allowed for this player to do or say to any coach.

Because the Dad asked me; he wants to alleviate the kid's nervousness, even if (as I agree is likely) he doesn't need to do anything to direct the conversation.  I think that is reasonable, and I'm asking because I agreed I would help.  I told him basically the same thing you just said, and I *don't* plan to be with the kid (I think that would be inappropriate, unless his parents ask me to specifically) - it is really just about making a kid more comfortable and feeling better prepared.

PG is correct, the coaches are not allowed to be in contact with players during the event. The only thing he should remember is to get the coaches name right if he somehow walks by and says hi.
