It all sounds good, but the concern is their baseball program is at the lower half of a very competitive conference.

Many good posts on the topic. Agree with others about the concept of time being earned and competition exists each year. Not sure of the hesitancy, but there is time if your son is 2018. Is the school a good academic fit--does the school have his major? As for the excerpt I quoted above, son committed to his "dream conference" with a team that was a basement dweller. Last year he was part of the team's first division title in 20 years.
