Congrats. I am pleased to read you are actively involved with this...did your 2018 request your guidance or did you invoke your "parental authority"
backdorslider's son got a very nice offer to give up going to Vandy, but his very smart son decided that the experience he would have at Vanderbilt with Tim Corbin is worth more than money in the bank at this time. Coach Corbin not only is a Hall of Fame college coach but he and his wife also teach players real life skills. That's just awesome to have worked with such an amazing person.
If your player is in middle school or HS and wants to play baseball at the college level, and has not been watching conference playoffs or regionals, IMO there is something wrong. Win or lose, players have exposure from national TV viewing audience they don't get in professional ball, until they MAYBE reach MLB.
Of course going to play in Omaha is a once in a lifetime experience for players and parents. Watching these players lay it all out on the field to advance is what fuels the fire for the young player to succeed. While every little boy says he wants to play MLB, every little boys dream should be to play in Omaha.
