If you had a son who was a decent recruit - how would you handle it

[MetEdDawg]

I just had my daughter almost 6 months ago and ever since then I've thought about how I would handle this if she ends up being recruited for anything or if I end up having a son. I would say you make one commitment and that's it and you better be 100% sure when your make it because you recruitment WILL be shut down once you do.

But I would want them to enjoy the process and get a feel for how each school wants to proceed with my kid moving forward. So let him/her take plenty of unofficial visits, get a true feeling for each program and how they operate on game day, then make a decision BEFORE official visits begin. Not let the crap on those weekend visits cloud the process and just take one visit to the school they want to go to.

I know it's the old school way and not the flashy way, but I've found very often that those who stay humble and don't ever try and mislead are the ones who are respected more. And for most, the way you handle yourself through this process gives great insight to the type of person a kid is and/or the type of upbringing they had.
