I guess I'm wondering about the value of throwing bullpens for people full strength in January, if we know that college is a family priority. Because of the connections he's making through his summer team (the coach assembles off-season camps with some very high level instruction), people are getting excited about his arm but we could be running around doing bullpens for all sorts of people, and it seems like an awful lot of effort when he already has a great scholarship at a school where we really like the coaching staff (and they are dedicated to developing him). The flip side is that we just don't know enough about this process to know when we're "burning bridges." Thanks for the advice!

This is where having a good advisor might help sort out real interest from checking a box.
