Local kid that I know chose to go to a JUCO on the other side of the state out of high school. He had some 4 year offers but none that interested him, and his girlfriend was attending a state university twenty minutes away from the JUCO. He performed very well at the JUCO over his two years. He was a starting RHP who was 91-92 and hit 93 at times. He later converted to closer.
By the end of his sophomore year, he got the dream offer from a nationally ranked program. He accepted and signed and was on his way. Over the summer he made a weekend visit and stayed with some players. He learned of two major points that were deal breakers. The coach did not allow girlfriends and there were certain courses players were not allowed to take. Of course, some of those courses were required for his chosen major.
So, he gave up baseball and is now attending the same school as his girlfriend. Weird story.
