Reply to "High School Not A Dream For All"

RHPitcherparent, my son is also a D1 commit to a top 15 program and has been treated the same way you speak of since his freshman year. He got committed from his travel team and never played a varsity game. His travel teammates pick at him that he can commit to a D1, but can't make varsity. He was the only D1 kid on the team. Some coaches are just idiots. Most of the kids that play varsity on my son's team kiss the coaches ass, parents kiss his ass,  families sponsor the team or give money to the booster's. My son will not do any of that and has earned everything on his own without any Highschool help. A good showcase team is well worth the price. The D1 coaches put more stock in travel coaches than Hs coaches now due to issues like this. I hoped HS would be a good experience, but it sucks. Kids with good HS coaches and teams are very lucky. My son just sits out and deals with it, knowing that college is the only thing that matters and is right around the corner next year!
