Reply to "2022 advise going forward"

That you all for the input.  I was really not sure if he we should put time into looking at D1 schools, but that appears incorrect.

To answer a few questions, he has a good frame, but is fairly immature physically at this point (just turned 16 and growth plates still wide open), but not from lack of effort.  He is hitting the weights and on a nutrition program his HS coach suggested to add weight and has put on about 15 good pounds since summer.  His coach wants him to get to around 220.

Currently he was planning to  pursue the path CTbballDad suggested of focusing on more of the camp route than travel ball.  Is that a mistake?  Also plan to attend his first PBR event at the end of spring that will be held at his school.  And to CTbballDad question, he was planning to focus on the PO path at camps, although he has above average position metrics.  The worry from a position stand point is that his height may limit opportunities, especially if he keeps growing.

Academically, he is taking ACT prep and may soon work with someone on test preparation.

To summarize suggestions, as we are in Alabama, he should be looking at the UAB, Samford, Jacksonville State, and South Alabama type schools.  He will have to incorporate that into his path this summer.

Again that you all for the input.
