It's all cookie cutter. Ask a coach whether he would have 5 90+ pitchers or 5 sub 85 guys with character. The coaches down in Georgia are scouting talent not character. Yes it helps, but it is not the most important quality. Unless you're an absolute jerk or can't read, your talent will get you a baseball scholarship.
8/10 for parental involvement. Not even sure what that means.

I think they meant the impact the parents have on the ultimate decision to attend particular school. And I would have to believe the character question is in addition to athletic prowess. I agree. A 90+ guy will always trump the 83-85 guy with a great disposition. lol
