[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Love some of the assumptions.

[b]Our son has been recruited by Division 1 schools for 3 years and has open offers that he has not accepted because they are not the right fit of education vs sports experience. [/b] Was offered by a team coming off a national championship win, that treats kids like cattle, so he didn’t commit there.

[b]He has had a non paid advisor working on his behalf since 10th grade, who talks to all of the college and professional coaches and does all of the busy work.  [/b]The advisor represents high level athletes that he expects will play at the pro level and that is when he is compensated. He alone reps almost $90 million in annual contracts, I know this because another agency recently tried to get us to switch to their services.   So I expect the Advisor is going to do a pretty solid job for my kid and doesn’t need the parents hyper focusing. We stay involved at the decision level because what is in our son’s best interest involves the education component as well as the going pro component.  Where the advisor is only concerned with the best path to pro.

Siblings love brother and are very proud of him and supportive.  Both of them are excellent athletes at the local level and are having a great High school experience, which older brother never had because of traveling all the time for sport.   It is the morning, noon and night convo from spouse that gets very redundant and painfully annoying, almost at an obsession.[/quote]

There is a strange disconnect in this post.  I have never heard of a kid who is considered a pro draft pick that literally can't pick up the phone or have their coach pick up the phone and talk to a coach at any college and get them interested nearly immediately.  Everyone knows everyone who are 5 Star recruits, so as soon as you say your kid's name they will immediately perk up.

Obviously, if the NCAA D1 national champion is interested....every other school has to be interested. It's confusing.[/quote]
