@used2lurk posted:If the club coach does not want to be too involved it is possible to get another coach/advisor involved (at your request). When I say advisor I do not mean a college recruiting advisor like CAA or one of many others out there. If your kid is as elite schools will find you. It could be his HS coach or pitching lesson coach or a friend of the family (be careful with that one as you would want the coach to be able to ask the right questions and not be ignorant to things he should know).
I say this because it might be nice to have a middle man of sorts to be the good/bad guy with coaches who is an advocate for your son and he'd be able to ask the tough questions of schools that are interested and potentially be someone that reaches out to schools on his behalf. (That was an incredible sentence but don't want to try to redo it). I hope that makes sense.
It does make sense - thanks!
You're asking the same question I am - should I bring in an advisor to hash through the existing offer, try to suss out other interested parties, and generally help with the process? Or should I go it on my own, in a weird situation where we're getting one very generous offer but nothing else and son is less than enthusiastic about the coach?
I think what you're saying is that the advisor role can be played by his HS coach, or pitching coach or someone else who already knows him, and I shouldn't have to hire a third party.
Thanks - that makes sense.
