Dang!- my son(current 2009/just turned 17) got rated the same as Prince!
Mike, many players go D3 for many reasons. Son was rated 6.5 as a 16 y old LHP. We looked mainly D3 for many reasons, academics, playing time, etc.
If I was a coach of D3, I would be looking at the 6 and 7 ratings as many want to play and develop, and a strong D3 (or even not so strong) will afford them (especially pitchers) more opportunities to get innings.
I agree with his PG rating and if he reaches what are reachable goals, I would not be surprised at a late round draft pick for a LHP. But, I also wouldnt be surprised if he didnt get drafted.
At this point, all he can do is continue to grow, get an education, pitch, have fun, and develop.
