quote:Mom.....listen to your son and give him a chance to realize his dream. You don't want him looking back years from now and wonder "What if..." He may hold it against you and damage your relationship in the future. Plus, if money is a concern....jr. college is a whole lot cheaper!! Make him the same deal we basically did...you have 2 years to make it on the field...after that decide to concentrate on school.
Its nice that more people are understandig that a JC isnt a horrible thing.Especially if you are not getting the looks you want at the time.My son got lucky to leave after one year and attend a 4 year schoolI think it is great you gave him these two years to get on someone elses radar.He is going to really remember you allowing him to continue to live his dream.
When a kid plays a sport, it makes the college process so much harder.Finding a Good fit and all that is involved isnt an easy task.
To the OP, I would ask your mom if she would spend a few hours just on this site , reading some of the information.It might really make her see the bigger picture of college recruiting etc.
