Reply to "Attending An Out Of State School"

This didn't happen at my son's school either.  80% of the roster lived within an hour of school, most much closer, but they stay on campus and party, practice, lift, etc.  However, the thing about playing baseball on a predominantly local roster, as an out of stater, is that the coaches have an intimate knowledge of the local kids.  They know them personally and know their reputations, strengths, and weaknesses.   While they did recruit your son, they don't know much about him.  Additionally, 80% of the roster have played against each other for years.  The out-of-state kid is starting from scratch with everyone, more or less.  Baseball teams, though, are great - the friendships build fast, but on the diamond, your son is building his reputation from basically zero with everyone.   

*this reply is to Francis's specific scenario - when most of the roster are locals.
