Reply to "Is my son good enough to play College"

Great post by SluggerDad.  Don't fall into the trap or belief that JuCo ball is "easier".  It ain't.  Yes, JuCo programs can vary from the best to worse than a high school team.  I've seen a good D2 JuCo give a D2 university team a run for their money.  Good programs have large rosters while not so good programs barely have more than a HS roster. As posted some will have 4-2-4 transfers and others trying to stay draft eligible.

Son played for a good D2 JuCo program.  Freshman year there were 50+ at fall tryouts.  By spring they had self cut to about 35 due to grades, disillusionment, injury, off field issues, etc.  Once son made the team he had to compete for a starting spot and then qualify for the travel squad.  Nothing was a given.  Had to prove yourself every day.
