My question to ALL OF Us (myself included) is...Isn't this a personal decision, between the player, their family and the coach/school? Let me ask some of the more critical posters...Why do you care? Your decision may, or may not, be the same as theirs. Put yourself in others shoes. If a dream-school coach came to your child and family how would you react? Maybe the same as this family, but maybe not. But, in the end, it's on a case-by-case basis. My guess is that some of the more critical posters are a little jealous, and not really caring for the integrity of the game. My daughter committed to a D1 school during the summer after sophomore year. It was her top school, but we still took 7 other visits. That was perfect timing for us, but one of her team mates committed a year earlier.Perfect timing for them. quit being so critical of others successes. Congratulate them and do the best you can for your kid.
