stayfocused posted:I say take the offer and be thankful you got it! As a dad of a 2019, 6' 3", 180 lb, 88 mph RHP, good grades and ACT, with tons of exposure (lots of PG tournaments, Jupiter, WWBA, etc.... over the past three years, with tremendous success at these tournaments), from the largest classification highschool in the state and a State championship under his belt, and not a single offer from a D1-3, I would highly recommend considering this offer.....because mid 80s RHPs are a dime a dozen. BTW.....we are extremely happy with the one D1 JUCO that offered and are very grateful that he will have an opportunity to continue playing at the college level.
We are living parallel lives..... son is a 2019 6'4 200 lb RHP, sitting 87-90 all summer, went to all the events, top travel team, no offers from D1s. Good grades and SAT. Hard part is looking on PG and seeing schools we talked to signing kids whose FB velocities are lower than his by 3-4 mph. He does have 2 D1 juco offers, and may go with one of them.
So I would try to convince my kid to take the offer.
