CPLZ, Infield 08,
Thanks for the good advice. We'll probably go if for no other reason than to start the process of getting a handle on where he belongs. Our son is not really excited about the process because he heard "horror" stories from some 09 kids that recruiters will talk to you for 30 minutes on the phone. His mother and I can are lucky to get 30 words a week out of him. His comment to me was, " i just want to go to a good school and play baseball. i don't want to talk to these guys." Another lesson to be learned.
Personally, I'm more cynical about things; comparing the process to the definition of a job interview: "two liars talking to each other."
The wife is happy though, another travel destination.
Infield 08. I think you're right about timing. It seems kids are getting pressured early, rightly or wrongly, so it's important to try and get a handle on things as soon as you can. High class problem I guess.
CPLZ: Good luck to your son @ West Point. I have a nephew who's a freshman @ Air Force.
Thanks again.
ps. I was hoping TPM would comment.
