In recruiting, it matters. You have the order of preference correct... it's C then 3B and then 1B/DH. And C is ahead by quite a bit. My son had a decent informal offer from a lower tier D1 as a C. He tore his PCL during his HS junior season, which moved him to 1B. The D1 school was honest with him and told him they only needed him if he could play C. Your son needs to focus on mashing regardless of which of those positions he plays. The more positions he can play (in front of college coaches), the better. Good luck.

I echo this completely. My son had a huge year as a freshman JuCo third baseman. Even after that Rice only wanted him if he could convert to C.
