If I read the question right...
A.You think the best thing for your sons health is to have a period of rest.
B. You are concerned that the layoff may contribute to lost recruiting opportunity.
The question of a period of down time has long been debated here, with strong arguments on either side. My advice is to look at options A & B and pick your priority. Is it your sons health or your sons college scholarship? What you are asking is, is it worth it to subject your son to possible health repercussions in the name of recruitment.
We thought it wouldn't hurt, so we cut short his rest time by a month. As of today, Senior in college, he's had one shoulder surgery and probably needs TJ...the Dr. has only given him a 30% chance of pitching this year with the amount of tearing in his elbow. Did the month short do significant damage? Who knows...but being able to see the traveled road in the rearview mirror, I'd not do it the same. I'd be more preventative and careful with Juniors arm.
BTW, the winter camp didn't help his recruitment one iota.
