Reply to "2021 - First Offer, Looking for Guidance"

Lots of good stuff going on here...

To Pitchingfan for your sermon  ..   (OK, and to Marksmith)  If you make that decision and fully commit to it, the grass on the other side will never be greener.  Marksmith, it is easy for your local coaches and friends to say wait... they don't suffer the consequences if nothing better does come up.  And, if that were a likelihood, I suspect you would have a pretty good idea that would be the case by now, or at least in the next two months in this pivotal time period as it relates to D1 recruiting where strong offers are on the table.

Keewart, good point about pitchers vs position players with the process. 

Marksmith, regarding concern about continuing with Showcases (and travel events)... it is perfectly fine, and in fact advisable, to continue with those even if son commits.  Search other threads here on how often offers are rescinded. Coaches leave, injuries happen, performance or projected growth don't reach expectations, etc.  Always good to continue with exposure.  If your son commits, the school will understand this, even if they are reluctant to admit it.  It is NOT a sign of lack of commitment to his commitment.  It is practical precautionary measure as well as continued opportunity to face top competition and get better.
