[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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.

No disconnect.  He was committed and supposed to be in college this year, when he did commit he had top programs lining up and committed to one.  Had an injury, nothing permanent, but it was a few months out in prime portion of season. That coupled with a coaching change he decommitted.  Now that his season is in full swing and his numbers are back where they were pre injury, he is fully back in the recruitment cycle and has assistant coaches and scouts lining up after games to talk to him.  Coaches and scouts talk to prior team coaches and scouts and the player, then advisors and once they decide to offer, they will set up a zoom with the parents and player unless the player is near the school, then maybe in person. Moms and dads aren't really involved in this process and parents that are emailing D1 coaches directly are pretty much bat shit crazy.  I know a few  that have dedicated websites for their kids, with resumes and extensive video they have compiled, they walk around tournaments and showcases handing out business cards with the web address to anyone they think is a scout or coach.

And to clarify, my WIFE is the one that is over obsessing about all of this.   I had a call with sons advisor an hour ago, when I brought her up to speed she was literally trying to google info and check player portals and stuff to verify and try and tell him what else he needs to do and has called me multiple times since. She will start no less than 10 more conversations about this with me between today and tonight.

12:55. I agree 100% about all kids getting equal everything from us.  And so does the athlete son, he gets annoyed and has to tell my wife to stop talking about the sport and players and all of it because she is nuts about it and sometimes he wants to just talk with his mom about other things.  Siblings all get along great and all support each other.

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