There was someone (might have been TR) on the board about ten years ago whose son committed to a successful mid major in early August for that year.
Due to an injuries my son committed days before leaving for school. But it was for the following year. He was told to try to walk on the first year. He lost out to a late bloomer pitcher now in the majors. He was a bullpen catcher the first year to be around the team.
Until this late breaking situation with the help of his travel coach making a couple of phone calls the plan was to showcase in the fall and take a couple of JuCo classes. We were informed two classes wouldn’t start the clock.
