This was our situation.

Son went to a fall showcase in AZ. Fall coach was talking to another person and started laughing. He then came up to me and said that was Dartmouth's assistant coach. He had asked if there was anybody on his team that had the grades to get into an Ivy school. When he found out Josh would be throwing the next morning, he showed up and the rest is history.

An important note that young men need to know:
I would venture to bet that one of the first things almost any college coach (irregardless of division or level) asks any prospective recruit is what their GPA, SAT, ACT scores are.

Being able to play is great, but if you don't have the grades to get accepted, it does you no good.
