Meads,
You also want to get an idea of what qualifications the person giving you advice has. My reason for joining this forum is because the high school coach we will eventually play for is a great guy and good coach but is not the best person for recruiting advice. I’ve found that while some school coaches have played D1 college ball and understand the process......many school coaches are simply teachers who love baseball. In other words your sons coach likely has all the right intentions but familiarize yourself with his credentials and continue using this forum to make the best decisions. There’s a lot of great advice from parents who’s kids are already committed or have gone on to play pro ball here.
