So is your recommendation to hold off until the player is at his peak?

If it were my son, I wouldn't put anything out there until Junior had something tangible to offer a coach. By that I mean, does Junior do/have something that already sets him apart from his teammates? If a coach were to call his coach now, would that coach give Junior a glowing report and talk about how Jr. would benefit the college program?

Or would the coach be more likely to say that Jr. has some nice tools and we'll have to see how they grow, but right now he's not a standout player?

I wouldn't want the coach getting anything but pure positives as he looked into Jr. Anything less than that, and I'd wait a little bit.
