Need the opinion of some of the more knowledgeable posters about my interpretation of PG info related to committments. My son is a 2016 catcher ( 3B secondary) and has been contacted by a few D1 schools. No offers yet but major D1s have called and said they are impressed and will be following him. He is a solid player and has captured the attention of fans, coaches, etc for years for both hitting and catching. Recently rated a 2 by Baseball Factory with very high hitting score and outstanding eval. PG soon. He and we are getting frustrated with the process because after being a standout for so long, he is still waiting for some school to bite. We are in Tx which is a big baseball hub so college coaches outside of Tx after seeing him at a camp or showcase ask him why he hasn't committed to a Tx school. He doesn't have a very good answer other than "no offers" which makes him, I think, look suspect. He has even had a lower level D1 coach ask him "what are you looking for" as if he has plenty of options. So totally mind boggling. Some schools have admitted that they just don't have the room but really like him. Think they found out about him too late. Let me just say also, that grades, discipline, etc are not an issue. Not an A but solid B with above average ACT.
To my question- I saw what I think is a glimmer of hope that he may find a place to play baseball after high school. On Perfect Game in the college committment section, that I check every other day, I noticed that the # of 2014 committments was 3,684, 2015 - 4,236, and 2016 1,174. Is this correct? Does this really mean that maybe 2,000 more 2016 kids will commit to play college baseball somewhere??? We were just running out of hope until I saw that even a 2016 still has an opportunity. Opinions. Let me just say that I wouldn't wish this process on my worst enemy.
