Local kid had to commit as a rising 10th grader. He was accosted at the movies, at the park, at baseball practice, even at school by well meaning people who just HAD to share about Coach X's program....at the direction of Coach X and his current and former players.  The boys parents and younger siblings were also approached. The boy was afraid to leave his house and freaked out that his 6th grade sister was being talked to about which college the kid would go to.  He committed to the closest program so all the insanity would stop. It is hard to say "That poor kid" when dealing with a 9th grader that threw 90+, but it was both a blessing and a curse for him. The coaches can't call direct, but you better believe they can make contact if they want to.
