Congrats to your son. We went through this recruiting thing a few years ago and it's a whole gambit of emotions. Here are a few things to keep in mind: keep all the letters, enjoy any visits you and your family get to take to schools, talk to people in the areas of study your son is interested in, sit down with the coach and ask specific questions about practice, class/ lab conflicts, find out requirements for freshman and study tables (most are mandatory but some are better than others), ask what skills your son needs to improve on b4 he gets to college, don't jump at the first offer if you get one, your son needs to decide before he signs anything if he wants to redshirt, be willing to sit a year or two b4 playing significant time, etc...and remember, bigger is not always better. Your high school coach or AD should be able to guide you, if not, another coach in your area who has had kids recruited will be happy to help. Bottom line, almost all local coach's want to see local kids get a chance to play at the next level. Best wishes on a successful and fun time, we really enjoyed ours. It will be over b4you know it.
