Go to your son's club coach and owner with a list of schools he may be interested in. He's an 8th grader not even in high school, but neither here or there, so you will need some guidance through it and remember that NCAA rules prohibit coaches from emailing or calling kids or you, so the club is your conduit. Every club coach and owner should be informed about prospect days at the colleges which have them, and should be letting you know about them in advance. This does not apply for you until next fall anyways, but get prepared. These things are a free for all, so if you don't get a head's up one is announced, even a few days can cost you a chance to enroll before it is full. Second, I'd ask for and welcome a reality check from your coach and club owner. If the kid is a great student, are you really going in for Delaware, Denver or High Point just to chase the D1 spot? If your kid is not a great student, is ND and Duke or Princeton really a logical strategy? Now a lot of that is must impossible to an extent because he's not even in high school or has he sat for a needed standardized test. Considering 60+ D1 schools is a bad start, and a money hole. Know what you want, ask if what you want is obtainable and then see how it goes. It helps when you are in 9th grade to know if you are interested in 3-5 of them, and if that interest is mutual.
