After 6 hours of continuous Googleing, at last I got it in your website. I wonder what's the Google's problem that doesn't rank this type of informative sites closer to the top. Usually the top web sites are full of garbage. I was just looking for this information for a while. After 6 hours of continuous Googleing, at last I got it in your website.

The coaches that called my son earlier were from D-1 colleges (Fresno & Cornell). He also got an e-mail inviting him for I guess what would be an unofficial visit. He e-mailed the coach to say he would be interested in visiting. And how does this time line fit into the July 1st deadline for receiving calls? Is this a waste of time if you think most of the scholarships are gone or do you think there is still time. He still has to take the SAT again. This is for the 2010 class. Thanks for your reply. Hi,

If your son is not talking to any college head coaches, he's no where close to getting a scholarship. Make sure your son (not you) is talking to college head coaches. Then make sure your son is getting all scholarship offers in writing. Make sure that it breaks down the cost of attendance and what is being covered by the scholarship. In addition to the financial aid package, your son needs to determine if the school has his preferred major, if he likes the location, if he likes the facilities, if he likes the entire coaching staff, if he likes his future teammates, if the school fits him socially, if he has a chance to play right away, etc, etc, etc. Through considering all of those things, then he'll find what's best for him. If you want the very best for your son, get him professional help. He gets to go through this process one time. One time only. If you provide him with knowledgeable, professional help, then he'll have choices and will be able to make a competent decision. As a parent, you'll have great peace of mind that all potential opportunities for your son were explored. Good luck! Hi Alan:

I have a strange problem. My son is a rising Senior. He has a 3.93 GPA and .481 batting average. He is getting a lot of calls from college scouts who want him to play baseball at their schools and talk "scholarship". I want the best for my son, but am very unfamiliar with negotiating the best opportunity for him with the recruiters. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. HELP!

Has he had a conversation with those college coaches who called, since they called the first time? If not, he should get on the phone. He should ask where he is on their recruiting board. You didn't mention the level of the schools, but if they're D1-A level, the majority of those schools have offered the vast majority of players already. There are very few slots left at that level. Have your son call those coaches and see where he stands with them. Hi Bob:

My son is a pretty talented athlete who as a junior, was not a starter but substituted in to games, and as a result does not have the best stats to offer & limited video. He had great film prior to this & he also made the Under Armor all-american team at their event & received a SPARQ rating of 102 at the Nike combine. He will definitely be a starter as a senior as a WR, DB & special teams. Assuming all goes as planned will a good season as a senior be in time? He has gotten lots of letters & a couple of phone calls. Leave a Reply 27.

Be sure to use the next few weeks to determine where your son is on the recruiting board. Your son may have to ask the coaching staff some tough questions or start expanding his search. Dennis,

My son is a junior being recruited by low-mid majors in basketball. 4 teams have come to workouts and attended season games. He gets quite a bit of 'propoganda' mailings from others. My question is, since he is only still talking to assistants does that mean he is down on the list? Is his time running out for an offer? Thanks! Interesting read.
