You’re “Best” offer isn’t always your best fit.
As a parent you have to help your kid determine what they want out of their college athletic experience. Have a realistic idea of their ceiling and potential.
1. Determine if playing time is a priority or if being a part of a high profile program experience the priority.
2. Location and support system in place at the university. Academically as well as campus/community life.
3. Coaching characteristics
4. When all of those things are evaluated then worry about NIL.

Obviously it varies depending on how good they are, but if they were an average d1 recruit, i would push them towards early playing time and then they could move up to a bigger school after a year or 2. Nobody gets better sitting the bench and then having an experienced transfer move ahead of them in the portal would suck. i dont like it but thats the way it is these days.

I have a child currently in this situation. I have told him to go where you are happy. If he wants to chase the money, we will support him. Personally, my wife and I hope he stays close to home.
