There is truth to cbg's post, but keep in mind that it is the player's future so the player (and parents) should be most responsible for seeing that things work out as you want them to. Nobody else's. The coach's responsibility is winning baseball games and developing talent in your son, with some mentoring/guidance thrown in ... if you're lucky.
For what it's worth.....
Agree %100. I am a big fan of the JuCo route for some players and I think that JuCos can be a smart, sensible route for players who either anticipate being drafted or who need to get a little more "seasoning." With that said, it is ALWAYS up to the student athlete to take control of his destiny and prepare himself for the next set of challenges (academic or otherwise).
