I think the obvious answer is you want your son to be a top D1 player. I hope that happens for him.

we would all like our kids to be top D1 players. I am certainly not banking on that. And if my son plays D3 - any level - I will be there watching him enjoy himself.

Don't forget NAIA.

I know two kids off of my son's team high school team that started their freshman year at a NAIA baseball school.
