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  Search other threads here on how often offers are rescinded.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.

 

Your son will need to continue to play ball.  If he is on a showcase team, his team will still need him.  He needs to stay in tip-top shape and be ready to compete when he steps on campus, because the fall of freshman year is like tryouts for the spring.  After the commitment , it is amazing how quickly all the emails  stop.   I am not sure I would continue with individual school camps/showcases, but continuing to play with his team is paramount.
