Reply to "JC Transfer to High Academic D1"

Well, his applications are all out, so waiting to see options is great. Once those decisions are in, he could call the coaches and pursue a potential walk-on route. Also, club baseball may be an alternative at some schools.

Most high academic D3s carry a pretty steep sticker price (don't know your financial ability) with no academic scholarships - but on the back end, lots of great employment opportunities.

I do know several seniors (including one who got an offer to Indiana during the summer post-graduation) who get offers all the way through the year.

on the JC front, would he live at home or go away to a JC? The few kids I know who went away to a JC had big problems balancing academics, serious dedicated baseball,  social lives, haircuts, eating, paying rent on time, etc. Lots of additional (and unnecessary IMO) pressure for a kid just trying to find the student union to have to live on his own.

But, you're casting a wide net and keeping options open; all he can do now is play well and continue getting good grades and not succumb to senioritis.

 

Yes, has applied to several High Academic D1s.  For sure if any of those come through, he'd be connecting with the coaches about walk-on prospects.  A couple of those D1s are fairly prestigious and if by chance he got in (a long shot), he'd likely go the club route.

The JC is local and is about as good of an academic JC as there is...but it's still a JC.  The issue with JC is giving away a year of the college experience and being on a team with less academic oriented players.
