sqeezeplay, your bio says you are a high school senior. Could you explain the reference then to your "son's" experience. Read this post and your other post. IMO, your comments on DI and DII and the value of a "money, no matter how little" is way off base. Equally off base are the comments that "all DIII's overrecruit" and the implication that DIII coaches make promises that they forget in the next Fall. I am sure it happens. I am equally sure and know that it does not happen. Personally, I think that your post loses credibility because it conflicts with the bio and seems awfully naive on the DI/DII side and way over the top, demeaning and just wrong on the DIII side. Dont' you think it is inappropriate to paint with such a broad brush? If not, then I think you are wrong on that position also.
While you don't say say this, I can certainly infer it from your post. When someone chooses a top DIII for it's baseball, they had better be a very talented player. Too often, the calibre of play and players is underestimated. That may not anyone's fault but it certainly is a fact that can lead to a lot of disappointment and anger. Same thing happens and perhaps even more often at the DI/DII level. If the coaches have committed money to you, no matter how little, and it turns out you are not in the top 30 players, many have a way of making that obvious. They also may not renew that money the following year. Bottom line, you have to be very talented to play at a top DIII or if you are on scholarship at DI/DII. Sometimes we overestimate that talent or fail to adequately research the skills of the players in a program. It can be a rude awakening when a player gets to college.
