Everything will be okay. Worst case scenario he misses out on some recruiting over the summer and has to work twice as hard to be seen when he is healthy.
i know the school I ended up committing to in high school hadn’t seen me until winter of my senior year. Large mid major school. Ended up not working out and signed with a junior college over the summer. Spots are always open somewhere. I would definitely recommend the juco route if playing d1 is the ultimate goal.
im in a similar situation right now. Draft interest , tommy john after my junior year at d1. Come back for senior season, more scouts come and watch, end up with a concussion and knee injury limiting me to only hitting and jogging the bases. Hit a 390 foot single off the wall Thursday...
