Best of luck to him, in baseball and academically, at his new college.

My son was also one who didn't excel academically in hs, then blossomed in college. Required courses not of interest to them, less than stimulating instructors, distractions, and even disorganization (one of the side-effects of testosterone poisoning in teenage boys Wink) can lead some teenage boys to a why-am-I-here stupor.

Then comes college where classes are chosen for interest, the quality of the instruction is bettr, and the discussions livelier. Just like rising in the ranks of baseball offers a better quality experience, it takes this for some of our sons to blossom.

The parents with those frustrating ("I know he can do better") sons should take note --- keep up the communication, assistance and encouragement....better days are ahead!
