Timing of offer

I should have said they will review after his first semester of his senior year in high school.

It all depends on the school and the amount of freedom the coach has

Coaches can't afford to give scholarships anymore if they think the player will not do well in the classroom. And they won't if someone thinks they will not pass admissions.

New NCAA guidelines have changed things.

Most coaches will go to the academic advisor for opinions before they make an offer.

I have a feeling that the coach doesn't have a lot of freedom. It is a private D1 college and the program hasn't been able to bring in any exceptional players in the past and I have a feeling this is one of the reasons why.

Every coach public or private we talked to wanted to know grades, SAT's and talked to admissions prior to offers.

Nothing wrong in keeping school on your list but even if grades improve a lot can happen between now and then. Keep actively marketing ur son. I would also look for schools that I feel my Son can get into for sure.

If academics are weak don't rule out JC if that will give him the best shot to strengthen his academics and transfer after a year.
