Cordia Parents waiting on Offers???????

papagrit Wrote:Again, to be honest, I don't know the first thing about Cordia or their setup up there. I just knew Rhodes wound up coaching there due to an article a while back in the Lexington paper. I just knew it was a small private sort of school. I always laughed when Rhodes would laugh or smile big during UK games because he has a "fliptop head" that resembles PacMan when he is smiling big.
You will just have to do a little bush beating with your son to try to field some interest from the college coaches. At this point in the game with application deadlines looming, you might spend a day and call some of the local Kentucky coaches or email them to see if there is any interest. Have your son's stats, grades and test scores ready and you should be able to get a real feel in a day whether there is any interest from the coaches just by simply talking to them. Most coaches will probably tell you straight up at this point where they stand with their recruiting or interest and if there is any scholarship money left in their budget I would think. I would have the boy do the calling though to show the coaches that he might be really interested in them and that he has initiative. I'd say you are right about coaches having more respect for talking to a high school coach than a possible helicopter parent. Can't hurt to try calling them though at this point because you really have nothing to lose by doing it. You could get a short list there of schools with your son after he finishes. LMU is a really nice school that my family used to have formal ties to for years up until about ten/fifteen years ago. I knew the girls basketball coach there until about three years ago when she retired.
As far as your daughter goes, bless your heart. No parent should have to go through such agony with their child. I've seen some bad times with my own children over the years with sepsis from a ruptured appendix at age nine on one son to my three week old having to go through abdominal surgery to correct a defect in a stomach muscle so that he could digest his food. You feel helpless and can just sit on the sideline and cheer them on and hope for the best. I've dealt with nothing like them having cancer and I wish you and yours the best of luck. I'll say a prayer for you.
Hang in there and good luck with your boy and your girl.:Thumbs:

Again thank you. I will work hard but also knowing God has a plan. Please see the link below on my daughter if she was able to hit the court this year I have no problem believing in JJ or any of the boys going were they are suppose to. Morgan will go to the University where I work this year and train to get back to her play form and will play starting her sophomore year at the level she is able to play. The link below was done by the local newspaper she is also a recipient of the Spirit of Sports Award.
