I honestly don't know if this is something that families mention. Personally I wouldn't (or rather I would not have let my kids do this).
But, if you're willing to do this, why not just ask about taking a gap year and then attending? During the year your son would be at the school red-shirting he has limited his options while coaches are still out recruiting and trying to field the best team.

Well I was thinking in a red shirt situation the coaches would have control over the player's development. In a gap year situation the player would either need to find a program to train with or train on their own.

My husband red shirted (different sport). He was able to train with the team, he just didn't travel/compete. Is this still how it is and for baseball? Or are there more limitations that I'm missing?
