'19 FL DE Khris Bogle (UF signee)

I would support my child’s decision as well but I would definitely try to influence them on where I feel they should go.

Obviously that is every Parents right and we all have our own way of parenting our kids. But I'll take the other side of this. End of the day I believe mine should make that choice without influence from me. He's the one who has to go where he's comfortable and wants to be the next 4 yrs. I don't want it on my conscience if I influenced him and he went because that's what I thought was best. What I may like or be comfortable with might not be the same as what he prefers. Way I see it if he's old enough to vote or go off to war he's old enough to make that decision without his mom's or my influencing him to go somewhere else. Hopefully we both chose the same one but it's his life and future. I was able to make my own decisions at that age and I'll let him do the same. Doesn't make my parenting way right or wrong, just like a different parenting way is any better or worse than mine. Now I will say I don't agree with how some recruits parents are. The ones who make the decision for them without considering what they want or like. That's asking for trouble. The kid isn't happy then it could take numerous different turns. But that's each individual parents right.
 
Every kid is different. Some need that parental guidance and some don't. The job of any parent is to look out for the best interest of their child, so I'm not gonna pass judgement on how much influence a parent has on their kid's recruitment. I hope Bogle comes here, but if he chooses elsewhere, the world doesn't end.

I have a daughter who hopes to be recruited for college basketball.....prob not at this level but hopefully a lower level.... I am responsible to set up training for her.....make sure she keeps up with her weight training... make sure she is with a travel team that has her best interests at heart....make sure she works by herself and be her rebounder....I’m not going to completely turn over the biggest decision of her life to a coach that may not have her best interests at heart..... it is much worse for a div 1 football player....how many players are fed a bunch of BS by a coach that wants them there?

In other words, you will make the decision for her

I definitely see your side! Plus you don't know year to year what Coach's will be there. And unfortunately these Coach's are such great salesman they fool the players and the parents. Just never know what skeleton's are in their closets. I know that's why they say commit to a school and not a coach. But a kids dream school and top choice could have the next Durkin,Briles,Butch Jones,Urban etc type issues that aren't visible at the time. Unfortunately it's a crap shoot when it comes to coach's in college.
 
This is out of control. Bogle please do something or say something about anything to someone who can report it.
P.S. I don’t like your mom.
