Chico,

I know baseball has been very, very good to you! ;-)

My two cents....let's assume your son has the academic chops to get into Dartmouth or any Ivy. Big assumption, but let's go with it for now. The quickest way to get an Ivy's attention is for your son to get attention of other D1 mid-majors thereby proving he has the necessary skills & talent and is "fishing in the right pond". If a handful of mid-major D1s show interest and begin offering then it is just a matter of him getting the right SATs/ACTs and some exposure to get the Ivy coaches support through Admissions. If you look at the majority of Ivy starters or guys that are getting significant playing time, I'll guarantee you that they've been offered at other D1 mid-majors. These are the guys that have recruiting leverage because they have something coaches want.

I wanted to give you another perspective to consider. Make sense? Good luck.
