Son was verbally offered a good D1 scholarship from a top-10 public school program, and RC also offers him to start as freshman, and said they won't pull the offer as some other programs may do. It all sounds good, but the concern is their baseball program is at the lower half of a very competitive conference. If we pass on this offer, the travel coach said my son may get a shot for walk-on to the power-5 program next year, which is tough to get play time.
My son starts as freshman in his public high school, he got all the play time, but not much coaching from what I see. Now I'm wondering, if we take the offer and really get started as freshman, versus walk-on to power-5 or other high baseball program with presumably better coaching, after 4 years of baseball training, which program do you think will make the player better? If you don't care about the MLB draft after college, I'd think we take the offer, get the degree, graduate and find a job. If you have MLB draft in mind after college, which I certainly think my son could have a shot, then it's a tough decision!
