Thanks for  the responses.

 

He is definitely looking outside of California.  Besides California, he has exchanged e-mails with coaches in Oregon, Washington State, Ohio, and  Pennsylvania. He also got a e-mail from a school in Kentucky -- but when  he looked into it further, found that it was  much too religious in emphasis for his secular taste, so crossed it off the list.   He has WRITTEN e-mails to a fair number of others,in a pretty wide range of places, but coaches from those states mentioned have responded with apparent interest.  He says he's willing to go just about anywhere in the country to play. 

 

No scout leagues around here - at least none that  I know of.  He is playing fall ball with a good organization.  And, again,  he will be doing the Senior  Fall Classic.  

 

Definitely keeping the JC possibility open.  Had a very nice visit when we were in So Cal for a tournament with Santa Barbara City College.  Plus a few other JC's close to home.  Likes the SBCC college option cause coach seems  like a great teacher and motivator and has had success getting his guys to the next level after JC. 

 

The "prestige" thing is getting to him  a bit, though.  So many kids from our school go onto high prestige schools. Turns out he's not immune to the longing for prestige -- which came as  something of a surprise to me, given that continuing to play baseball is one of his two highest priorities  (the other is studying design/art/multimedia).
