<p>I am one of the parents who can testify to being careful not to make too many predictions too far ahead of time. I sent my son to a good private (with good FA) with a good reputation for sending kids to college on sports. We had a great summer after junior year with many colleges interested in my son. Then in September we literally had “a bad break” and son broke his hand badly enough to take him out for the season. His senior season. We are pleased with where he is headed now and he still has every chance of playing, but there is no doubt that the last minute injury affected his trajectory and he lost the interest of other schools who were looking at him before. Above all make sure your son has the education you want him to have. This is not advice better than that in the other posts, I just wanted to say that I am glad I chose a prep school for my son which also gave him a top notch education in case the sports did not pan out.</p>
