[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. DS is a runner. He used to be very focused on D1, but after an injury and some time off, he is now thinking D3 at a really good school is the smarter option (which we parents agree with). And yes the ED decision seems like the hardest part. He is torn between two great options. Just generally wasn't sure how seriously to take coaches' overtures (ds is def taking it seriously...I am the more skeptical one.)[/quote]

Running is a little more straightforward because many schools publish times for what they might support, vs walk on.

I would go to the College Confidential athletic recruits page.  My understanding is that it's OK for him (not you) to contact the coach at his top 2 choices and find out where he is on the list.  He should wait to pick an ED school until he finds out whether he will get coach's support.  A positive preread without a coach's support means his chances are the same as any other applicant, so he needs to find out if they are giving that support.[/quote]
