If I am thinking of the right kid, I believe the OP of this thread is now the father of a 1st year HA D1 player, so looks like his estimation of the kid's talent and academic commitment, as well as the advice here, was spot on.

JCG - You are indeed correct. This thread that started in 2013 was the first (or one of the first) posts I made asking questions. I can't believe how fast time has gone. My son, the Jr. High kid I mention in the OP, is now playing baseball at a west coast high academic D1. I will tell you that him reaching the D1 level was through flat out hard work in the classroom, ballfield, and the weight room.

The advice I received from HSBBW during my son's baseball years through middle school and high school made an enormous positive impact in terms of guiding my son through the recruiting process. I hope that other parents that find this site can benefit as much as I did.
