Congrats if your son has options for where to play some college ball next year. Keep in mind that "verbal commitments" are not binding so if he has already verbally committed to a school but still on the fence, he may change his mind and sign with another school without penalty.
However, after your son does sign a letter of intent, that is a binding agreement - your son is then committed for a full academic year in exchange for an athletic-based financial package from the school. So pick wisely. If your student-athlete gets cold feet after signing, absent a release from that school, he may attend another school, and receive financial aid, but must sit out of all sports for a full academic year!
