CM,
You bring up some good points and I like your no nonsense get to the bottom line posts.

I think maybe I just assumed that if ones son has desire to play the college game, you've made it your business to go watch a game with him. We told son if you want to play top D1 baseball you go watch D1 baseball. He grew up on UM so it was a good opportunity for him. For a parent to just assume that every HS player is college material is whacky..IMO.

I remember Jim Morris giving his speech about what it takes to play UM baseball, position by poisition. Pretty tough stuff, IMO. I wonder how many folks and players really listen to those HC speeches at camp.

So with that in mind, I have to say it IS important to know how really good or not good your son is, and take the necessary steps to find out (showcases, top tournies, watching college games). This should give a parent a benchmark as to where he might fit in.
