My nephew missed his entire Junior season with a torn ACL (torn during the last game of fall baseball).
He worked hard all winter and spring in rehab, got picked up by a decent summer ball team and played for two weeks in East Cobb.
It was during that time that he was seen by 5 schools one of which he was very interested in as well as they in him. He ended up signing with them during early signing period this past Nov. and has yet to play for his High School team.
BTW, his High School coach wouldn't help any of the kids get into school anyway. It's all about travel and summer ball these days.
Good Luck
