Reply to "Multi Sport Athletes In College"

I want to emphasize one point I made above, and that is the REAL CHALLENGE IS GETTING THE RECRUITMENT EXPOSURE FOR TWO SPORTS. We all know, that all sports now, due to AAU and travel/showcase, are 365 days per year. Baseball, Basketball, even Football, all go 365 days.

You better be a S-T-U-D in both sports (Jameis Winston or Pat Connaughton) to be able to get away with devoting only 182.5 days to one sport, and 182.5 to the other, when 99% of your competition for D-1 roster spots in a respective sport are devoting 365 days per year. Capiche'?

This summer will be the first summer my son will actually be doing AAU basketball AND showcase baseball simultaneously. He wants to do it. Not sure how it will go? I will try to post some reflective comments in the fall as long as my wife hasn't divorced me and taken the house, my dog, and my laptop!
