It's not the prevailing wisdom on this board, but to me if the PSA is realistic, truly understands his status, is ok with an uphill battle for playing time (or even making/staying on the roster) AND the school is a great academic/social fit regardless of baseball, I understand and have no problem with going for the sole DI offer versus being a "loved" D3 recruit. It's not for everyone, but there are no absolute rules. Go where you're loved of course is good advice generally, but in the right circumstance and if the player is mature and knows what he's getting into, why not go for it and pursue the DI dream??? These guys are young and at least will be able to say they gave it a shot. They've played competively for years and have an idea of what they face. Some truly would prefer being a bench player on a DI team that has a great budget, facility, travels to cool places, plays other great teams, etc. than be the stud on a D3 team. There are plus and minuses for both options like any life decision. But you're only young once (says the old guy at the computer screen)
