#1 Assistant Coach posted:School son just committed to as an RHP:
- AC first came to son's start on mound at LP in 2015. Total grease fire. Could not get out of 1st-inning. Got hook in 1st-inning! We crossed this AC and his school off list two years ago. Never would have believed he'd hang around two more years after that outing!
- has seen son an additional 4-5 times since. But when son rec'd other offers from D-1s he must've taken it as a sign he better move. FenwaySouth has been known to say, "These guys don't offer until they HAVE TO." And other schools putting offers on the table makes them also have to offer. Son did have 2 other D-1 offers on table when he finally committed.
- As people say on this site, "You never know what a coach is looking for, what they see, what their timeline is, or what their intentions are."
- Apparently this AC's timeline was 2-3 years, was looking for projectability, and had no intention of expecting son to be a finished product in 2015. Son has continued to make progress, and got to a point where AC felt it was time to make offer.
