Ill just throw this in: getting to a school is only the first component of a happy match. Playing is the critical outcome everyone seeks. A kid maybe recruited who throws 90+ or 85, but that kid may never see the field.
The happy feeling of being recruited for the most prestigious baseball university quickly turns to dust for many of the incoming class at that school. Just look at the numbers; many of these schools bring in 20 freshman a year (and can augment at will from JUCOs) - some regularly bring in more (e.g., SDSU bring in upwards to 25+ every year). Even assuming EVERY draft eligible player in that team gets drafted and signs before senior year, where did the players from the freshman class go?
Moreover, parents and players are always astonished that significant playing time for freshmen isnt the norm. But, take a step back and think: virtually every player recruited by these top baseball schools was a spectacular HS stud. I think too many assume that the HS stud will remain that when facing not only HS studs from his year, but also HS studs who are older and have experience.
It's quite a shock to many that so much practice time and angst is put into baseball only to find the opportunities to play are extremely limited.
I say first go where you'll like the school absent playing (pretty standard advice). Second go to a school which offers the major thought to be pursued (recognizing that that will probably change as most college kids switch majors athlete and non athlete). Third, research the school (assuming it's the same coaches) and see what is the history of development and patience with players, transferring in and out, playing time distribution, pro players (if a kid is thinking that), summer ball placements (a kid can get lots of game experience during the summer even if he didn't play during the year - and playing is the best way to get better; it's hard to improve sitting on a bench), graduation rates and majors, job placement opportunities, etc.
And, most importantly have a realistic view of where yours fits into the baseball world. We often joke that dads add seven miles an hour to a son's FB; the same is true when we try to evaluate our own kids playing ability. It's tough to be objective when so much of the family's time, treasure, and identity is tied to baseball success.
It's more then "go where you're wanted" (though that is a component). A coach will make every player during recruiting feel like he is wanted - that's what makes a coach a great recruiter. It's go where you're wanted and will play.
As as for velos, why be the only 85 mph recruit in a class of 88+? For every Joey DeNato and Michael Roth (LHPs) there are dozens who never got lift off - most because they were at the wrong school for what each brought to the table.
