We have talked to him about the "allure of the label" - he is similar to so many other kids in thinking DI is the way to go. He is not 100% sure where he wants to go to school and has no strong feelings about any schools except that he wants to play DI. Any advice?

I think your son needs to research this topic alot more. If baseball is a prime motivator, he needs to understand that an opportunity to be groomed as a starting shortstop at a D2 (with money) is far better than no D1 offer or an offer to walk on as a D1 and presumably sit the bench. I hate to burst his bubble but D1 is just an NCAA designation that many kids get hung up on. Could there be other reasons?

Here is a link to the NCAA Eligibility Center that discuses these differences between D1, D2 and D3. www.ncaaeligibilitycenter.org

Good luck.
