Anyone looking to simplify the recruiting process for you son -- try using Trello. It's free. I created a recruiting board and it was really helpful. I made 7 columns from left to right. The idea. Move each school up the line until you receive and offer. Here are the columns I used. Target Colleges. Grateful but not interested. Colleges in play. Visit planned. Next steps. Offer made. Commit.

I also used some pay for products to communicate with coaches - but this really helped simplify the process after Sept 1.

Please note. Emails from school unless very specific regarding your son would not go in the "colleges in play" column. Only input colleges that have sent a text or a very specific message indicating interest in your son. It will usually be accompanied by a phone number.

Good luck.
